Description: | Flint saw on a chert flake that is sub-ovoid in plan, plano-convex in profile and section. On the dorsal face the left margin is serrated (as a result of fine retouch on the ventral face). On the right margin there are several notches, possibly the result of damage. Between the damage are signs of serration. On the ventral face there is a long band of gloss extending from the top right (distal end) to the lower left (proximal end). There is a smaller patch towards the top left. The flint is grey and is classed as tertiary because of the absence of cortex.Bond (2004) shows a similar saw, also with a jagged right margin, on page 143, Figure 5.129, Number F150.
