Description: | Mesolithic blade knapped from mid to light grey flint. The dorsal surface has two parallel ridges where previous flakes have been removed. One of these removals has resulted in a hinged termination. The proximal end has snapped, removing the bulb of percussion from the proximal end. The distal end of the ventral surface has an overshoot termination. The hinge fracture and overshoot suggests that this is poor quality flint. There is slight retouch along one od the edges, as well as some post depositional damage. The blade is 86.01mm long, 40.95mm wide, 16.56mm thick and weighs 56.1 grams.
