Description: | The ventral face is concave with some low angle retouch on the central left margin. The dorsal face has a flattened medial ridge with a long flake removal to the left margin, which ha sbeen "nibbled". The dorsal right margin has abrupt retouch at the distal shoulder, a small notch further down its length and more abrupt retouch.The piece is made from a dark grey with cream spots flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.Mercer illustrates a similar piece on Page 129 Fig 56 No L102, which he called an edge trimmed flake and placed in the Neolithic period.
