Flint Flakes Tour

Notched Flake in Furrow

Looks like it might be an example of an arrowshaft shaver, as I have heard them called – a notched flake. Maybe they did acquire their notches from doing a job something like scraping bark off arrowshafts – who knows? This flake is lying on its dorsal surface, exposing the ventral face – and you can clearly see a bulbar scar radiating away from the striking platform.

Also note how sandy the soil is here in Santon Warren (Santon – Tun in sandy soil).
