Description: | Flake which has probably been snapped or broken from a blade. It could be described as an irregular shaped flake, with one end worked to a point. The edge opposite the snap has been worked up towards a point so that the flake could also be used as a borer or piercer, probably a piercer. The remaining cortex acts as backing and there is a smooth side to the medial ridge which also acts as backing.The flint is a medium grey speckled colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 153, fig.137, No. 12 and also on page 57, fig. 5.28, No.L132 which are dated to the Neolithic.
