Title
serrated flake
Description
English: A quite thick and pointed flake of translucent brown flint struck from an abraded platform from which preparatory bladelet scars have been removed.The right margin is backed by nodular cortex . A usefully large flake; likely made from a nodule of imported Devon flint. The straight sharp left margin is serrated by slightly spaced small flake removals. The distal end has been shortened and made chisel-like by flaking a short run of parallel semi-abrupt retouch. Mercer(1981) illustrates a cortically backed knife on page 141, fig 62, L184..
