Description: | Flint flake, sub-rectangular in plan, though rounded at the proximal end, needle-like in profile and bi-convex in section. It has been snapped at the distal end. On the dorsal face, the left margin broadens towards the proximal end and, on the opposite point on the right margin, there is a small notch, which may have been for hafting. There is a small amount of retouch on the upper left margin and on the right side around the notch. It could be a snapped blade although it is no a flake according to its dimensions. The flint is grey with pale mottles and is classed as tertiary because there is no cortex.Mercer (1981) has a example that has not been snapped on page 129, Figure 56, Number L101.
