Description: | A Neolithic flint blade, dating between 4000-2200 BC (length: 28mm; width: 28.2mm; thickness: 11mm; weight: 8.70g). The bulb of percussion is clearly visible on the ventral side below the striking platform with only slight and sparse radiatting ribbles or 'lunettes'. There does also appear to be possible radial scars radiatting outwards from the bulb. On the dorsal, there is a line of off-white cortex along the left side with a large flaking scar in the centre running nearly to the end of the tool's length. A curved/ smei-circular blade to the right side on the dorsal which continues onto a flat blade at the base. The flint has been pressure-flaked from the ventral side to produce the flaking scars and the blades. The blade has a grey-black patina.
