Title
Serrated-edge flake
Description
English: Flint flake, near lozenge-shaped in plan, plano-convex in profile and bi-convex in section. Retouch is difficult to find. On the dorsal face the upper right margin is jagged, almost scalloped. There is a distinctive point at the distal end. It is broken, possibly snapped, at the proximal end. The flint is cream and because of the absence of cortex is classed as tertiary.

It is a serrated -edge flake and a similar example is to be seen in Mercer (1981) page 143, Figure 63, Number L207.
