Description: | Phil Watson (Principal Curator, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) identified the object as a notched blade flake dating to the Neolithic to early Bronze Age period (-3500 to -1500). The blade has been knapped from a dark brown flint. The blade has a triangular section, and is an irregular shape in plan. The upper oblique edge maybe damaged recently as the bulb of percussion is incomplete and the surface has a matte quality, whereas the majority of the blades' surface is a shiny, slightly waxy texture. One side edge has a semi-circular notch which has been knapped. The notch is 8mm wide. Otherwise the blade measures 34.4mm long and 27.55mm wide. It weighs 4.58g.
