Description: | A curved and twisted thin flake of creamy brown and opaque cream flint; hard hammer struck.The proximal end has been removed and a sharp notch made in the lower left margin. The rest of it and the oblique distal margin are finely retouched with a little use gloss. Another notch has been made in the upper right margin. It may be that several tasks were carried out by this flake or the 2 notches were used for a haft and the rest of the tool was for cutting. Butler(2005) illustrates a notched flake on page 169, fig 71, 8.
