Description: | Flint blade segment, sub-rectangular in plan, needle-like in profile and sub-triangular in section. It is snapped at the distal and proximal ends and was probably part of a longer tool. Both lateral edges are very sharp, possibly serrated, although retouch is dificult to see. The dorsal face has a medial ridge and the ventral face is flat. There are patches of gloss on the medial ridge. The flint is grey with pale mottles and is classed as tertiary because of the absence of cortex.Butler (2005) shows a segment of a blade on page 115, Figure 46, Number 7.
