Description: | A thick, hard hammer struck flake from a thinned platform of translucent brown flint. There are slight cracks in the flint and it may have been heated. The right margin is backed by lightly rolled pebble cortex. The dorsal surface has feathered flake scars from previous removals. On the proximal end is a worn abraded triangular facet; perhaps used for grinding and the left sharp margin has fine edge wear and damage which continues to the distal end. Mercer(1981) illustrates a small utilised flake on page 131, fig57, L109.
