Description: | Lithic implement. Hazel Martingell kindly notes that this is a lovely example of a Neolithic leaf point. It is an elongated drop shape in plan and lentoid in section. It is made on a piece of dark grey flint with light grey patches. Each face is clearly carefully flaked and the edges retouched. The bulb of percussion is not visible, though the striking ripples are. The point is 83.80mm long, 33.8mm at the widest point, 13.58mm thick and weighs 35.61g. It would probably have been hafted for a lance point (a throwing spear) and dates from the middle to late Neolithic c.2900-2100 BC.
