Description: | A flint blade of probable Neolithic date. The blade is a tertiary flake. On the ventral surface at the proximal end are the striking platform and the bulb of percussion, from which ripples radiate. On the dorsal side there are three main flaking scars. Around the distal end there is some possible retouch, which has removed the creamy white patina to reveal brownish grey flint underneath. This suggests that the retouch occurred at a later date than the original creation of the blade.
Dimensions: 46.55mm by 18.97mm by 5.74mm
