Description: | Description by Nicholas Thomas:This is an irregular flake with a retouched edge.Half of the dorsal face is cortexed. There is retouch along the straight distal margin from the ventral face. There are traces of use wear all round and flake scars all over.The ventral face shows traces of use wear all round the margins. The retouched edge is not visible from this face.The flint is transparent pale grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is uncertain despite its secondary cortex.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 57 Nos L110 which he calls an edge trimmed flake and dates to the Neolithic.
