Description: | The ventral face has a clearly visible bulb and bulbal scar. The dorsal face has two hinge fractures towards the right margin. The left dorsal margin has been "pecked" along its whole rounded edge and up to the distal point. The right margin has abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch.The piece is made from a grey 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 131 Fig 57 No L110 from a site dated to the early Neolithic period, which he calls an edge trimmed flake.
