Description: | This tiny flake has been snapped at the distal end. The ventral face has a bulb and a scar, but no retouch. The dorsal face ha sa flattened medial ridge with semi-abrupt flake removals to either side. Each margin has been retouched to create a jagged, sharper edge.The piece is made from a dark grey flint, translucent grey at the margins. 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 111 Fig 49 No L2 which he calls a microlith and dates to the Mesolithic.
