Description: | Chunky flake which has been broken, or snapped off a longer piece - possibly a blade. There is also a break on the other edge. The edge has been worked towards the point which shows signs of damage, probably through use. This point was probably used as a piercer, or borer. There is an abraded area on the other side of the flake towards an incipient point. This has been blunted, probably accidental damage. There is a considerable amount of cortex remaining.The flint is a uniform grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 57, fig 5.28 No. L132 which is dated to the Neolithic.
