A retouched secondary flint blade flake. The flake is elongate. The flint is dark grey with light mottles, semi-opaque with a mid-gloss patina and cortex remains on the a small area of the right side of the curved distal end showing through to the ventral face distal end margin. The dorsal face shows multiple parallel flake removal scars and minimal short, scaled and semi-abrupt retouch to the distal end and right side margin. The ventral face shows a prominent bulb of percussion indicating probable use of a hard hammer such as a hammerstone.
