Description: | Small flint blade, made from a tertiary flake, probably dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic. It has a narrow, stepped, butt and diffuse bulb on the ventral face, suggesting that a small soft hammer was used. There are three long, thin flaking scars on the dorsal face tapering to a pointed tip at the distal end. The flint is milky grey in colour and a certain amount of repatination appears to have taken place. The edges are fairly sharp, but notched in places due to plough damage, etc.
