Description: | The ventral face shows that the piece has been snapped above the bulb. There is some "nibbled" retouch at the ventral left margin. The dorsal face has a medial ridge weith flake removals towards each margin and three long, parallel retouch removals towards the proximal end. The dorsal right margin is more obviously serrated than the left one. The distal end has been snapped.The flint is translucent light brown in colour with a ghostly white patina. 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 143 Fig 63 No L205 which he calls a truncated, serrated edge flake and dates to the Neolithic period.
