Description: | The piece is shaped like a well stuffed pasty. Its ventral face has a bulb and short semi-abrupt retouch on the right margin with low -angle retouch on the dorsal left margin. This may ahve functioned as a scraper with the convex, flattened left dorsal margin giving finger holds, but it is badly abraded.The piece is made from a cream to light brown flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but htis is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.Mercer illustrates a similar piece on Page 129 Fig 56 No L107, which he called an edge trimmed flake and placed in the Neolithic period.
