Description: | Flint flake, in plan like an inverted 'J', sub-triangular in profile and bi-convex in section. On the dorsal face there is retouch along the distal edge. The distal end is broader than the proximal end, and on the right margin there is a curve and point forming a notch. The right margin is sharp with nibbled retouch towards the proximal end. The proximal end is snapped. The flint is dark grey with pale mottles and patches. There is secondary cortex and it is likely to have derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer (1981) shows a similar edge-trimmed flake on page 135, Figure 59, Number L147.
