Description: | Flint serrated blade or saw, ovate in plan, lozenge-shaped in section, and convex and arched in profile, with sub-parallel lateral margins, unimarginal worked edges, and a rounded distal end and truncated proximal end. There are two notches, one near the distal end on the left edge of the dorsal face, and one near the proximal end on the right edge of the dorsal face. No cortex survives on the dorsal face, which suggests that the implement has been made from a tertiary flake. There are also a number of scratch marks on the ventral face of the right edge, running from the edge inwards, along with an area of gloss, which suggests that these marks represent usewear. The flint is a slightly translucent dark grey-brown colour and the length to breadth ratio is about 2:1. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on pages 143, Fig.5.129, Nos.F150, which is dated to the Later Neolithic.
