Description: | Description by Nicholas Thomas:This is flake with two notches and retouch.On the dorsal face the proximal end is retouched to give shallow, hollow edge, worked mainly from the ventral face. The dorsal right upper margin has been retouched mainly from the ventral face. There are two notches on the left margin, the one at the distal third ha sbeen worked from the dorsal face. The ventral face shows retouch along the proximal left margin.The flint is orangein colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is unclear with only tertiary cortex.MERCER (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 127 Fig 55 No L91 and L94, which he calls an edge-trimmed flake and dates to the Neolithic period.
