Description: | The ventral face of this flake is gently concave with a visible bulb and no retouch. The dorsal face has a high, sharp medial ridge with a semi-abrupt flake removals towards each margin. The distal end has retained secondary cortex. The proximal end ha slow angle retouch towards its tip which ha sbeen blunted with abrupt retouch.The piece is made from a dark brown flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of the secondary cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 127 Fig 51 No 11 which he dates to the Neolithic period.
