Description: | Flint flake, oblong in plan and a curved splinter shape in profile. On the dorsal side the distal end has a steep serrated edge with some abrasion on the left end. There is low-angle retouch on the right margin and denticulation on the proximal end. The left margin is clean snapped. On the left area of the surface there is a shallow concavity caused by being the inverse side of the bulb of percussion on the ventral side. There is also retouch scarring on the distal end on the ventral side.The flint is translucent and has pale grey tones in colouring.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 141, Fig. 5.127, No. 8 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
