A large heat treated thin flake of mottled cream and light grey flint with a pink tinge, particularly under the remaining pebble cortex. The flake has been double struck by a soft hammer.The flint looks heat treated because of its colour and lustrous flaked surfaces. The distal end has been truncated through the patina to reveal a greyer but still pinkish interior. A straight line of lustrous retouch is on the shorter distal break. The right ventral edge has also been retouched through the cream surface. This flake has been reused by snapping and retouching some time after it was stru…
