Description: | The ventral face has visible ripples and a bulb. This fan shaped piece has the bulb and proximal end as its "handle" or base. The dorsal face has invasive retouch. The right distal shoulder has abrupt retouch to blunt it, while the left shoulder is sharp. The left margin from central to proximal has abrupt retouch, which might be use wear. The piece appears to be too thin to be a scraper.The flint is light brown in colour. 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 131 Fig 57 No L110 which he calls an edge trimmed flake and dates to the Neolithic period.
