Description: | Probably an incomplete blade of Mesolithic or early Neolithic date, knapped from light grey flint. The surviving section of the blade is the snapped proximal end. A curved proximal end is common on blades struck from prepared blade cores, with a punctiform butt; a small amount of the striking platform that remains on the removal. The roughly parallel scars on the dorsal surface also suggests that these are broken blades. The incomplete blade is 14.0mm long, 13.0mm across at the widest point, has a maximum thickness of 3.08mm and weighs 0.63 grams.
