Description: | A very neat bifacially knapped small blade, with two distinct cutting edges and the proximal end also sharpened. The flint itself is a dark grey colour, with smaller darker blotches which are almost black in places. The right cutting edge could be chipped, but could equally simply be irregular removal of flakes during sharpening. The shape is suggestive of a straight backed blade, and parallels may be found in Bond (2004, 89; refs. 5, 6) which suggest that the blade is of Upper Palaeolithic date.
