Description: | A re-touched flint blade of probable early Mesolithic date. The object measures 35mm long by 14.7mm wide and 2.3mm thick. It has been made from a slightly curved flake and has an angled butt at the top, along with a bulb of percussion and rippling. The upper surface has a flat central vertical section and several arrises at the top and bottom. Both of the vertical edges have saw-like teeth, which are either due to re-touching or use of the implement. The flint is a patinated light greyish-white. It weighs 1.58g.
