Description: | The ventral face has a visible bulb and bulbal scar. The left margin has a long flake scar along most of its length. The dorsal face has a central ridge and flake removals to either margin. The distal end is truncated while the proximal tip has been retouched and finely serrated. The left dorsal margin has fine serration along its whole length.The piece is made from a brown flint, translucent 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 143 Fig 63 No L198 which he calls a truncated blade and dates to the Neolithic period.
