A light to mid grey flake of flint. The dorsal face has jagged edges with only one possible site of retouch at the proximal edge right margin. The ventral face, exhibits conchoidal waves, although the bulb of percussion does not appear to be present. This appears to be more of a piece of debutage used as a one off tool, rather than deliberately manufactured. Possible soft struck rather than hard on one side.
