Description: | The ventral face has ripples and a bulbal scar. The dorsal face ha sa medial ridge with a flake removal towards the left margin, which has retouch from the ventral face. The right dorsal margin has semi-abrupt parallel retouch. The proximal end is snapped away and the distal tip ha sbeen blunted. The piece is quite abraded.The flint is pale blue in colour with cream 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 141 Fig 62 No L186 which he calls a knife and dates to the Neolithic period.
