Description: | Neolithic blade; Knapped flint blade of probable Neolithic date (approximately 3500 BC ?? 2100 BC). The blade is of opaque, cream-white flint with touches of pale blue and rust-colour in its fabric. It is formed of one long flake with further strikes along the ??front?? face to give a triangular cross-section. The back face has a prominent bulb of percussion where it was struck away from the core. There is some evidence of secondary working to shape the cutting edges along both long sides of the flake.
