Description: | The ventral face ahs a bulb and visible ripples. The dorsal face ha sa flattened medial ridge with flake removals towards each margin. The dorsal right margin has "nibbled" retouch and a tiny notch. The left margin is more obviously serrated, with a notch at the proximal end, possibly allowing hafting. The distal end has abrupt retouch and a shallow notch.The piece is made from a tranlucent brown flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 129 Fig 56 No L96 from a site dated to the early Neolithic period, which he calls an edge trimmed flake.
