Description: | Flint flake, near-lozenge shaped in plan, convex-concave in profile and bi-convex in section. It tapers towards a point at the distal end. On the dorsal face, the edge is scalloped and sharp to the right of the distal point. The lower and medial sections of the right margin are sharp, also with slight denticulation. The left margin is also sharp and jagged, possibly denticulated. Although the point has been worked the flake seems too thin to have been used as a piercing tool, so it is considered to be a serrated-edge flake. It is a translucent olive-green without cortex, so it is classed as tertiary.Bond (2004) shows a similar example on page 61, Figure 5.40, Number L28.
