Description: | The ventral face has a bulb and ripples. The dorsal face has a flattened central ridge with flake removals to either margin. Each edge is "pecked" and serrated, possibly from use wear. The trimming on the dorsal face above the bulb with the flattened ridge may have allowed hafting.The flint is orange grey 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 143 Fig 63 No L204 which he calls a serrated edge flake and dates to the Neolithic period.
