Description: | A blade which has been truncated at distal end so could have been longer originally. It has also been snapped at the edge at the proximal end. It is possible that this could have been a notch before a piece was snapped off. This edge has been worked from the ventral side. The right hand edge, dorsal view, has been trimmed so the piece is an edge trimmed flake/blade. The proximal end shows signs of natural abrasion. There is patination on part of the dorsal and ventral sides.The flint is a pale grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 129, fig 56, No. L102 which is dated to the Neolithic.
