Description: | Flint pebble flake, sub triangular in plan and slightly convex-concave in profile. The dorsal side has a convex surface with two parallel mesial ridges. The proximal end is largely cortex and the distal end is fractured. There is serration on the left margin and some irregular retouch with abrasion on the right margin. On the ventral side the upper left margin has flake removal. There is some possible impact damage or tiny retouchings on the proximal end.The flint is dark grey with mid grey toned inclusions and a secondary cream coloured cortex.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 129, Fig. 56, No. L. 104 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
