Description: | A notched flint flake of probable early Neolithic date.The crudely made tool has been manufactured from a large, irregularly-shaped flake. The dorsal surface retains much of the original cortex; the heavily patinated ventral surface exhibits a bulb-scar and rippling. Pressure flaking has been used to create a shallow notch halfway down one of the long sides and a second notch is located on the convex bottom edge. Other points around the perimeter show evidence of abrupt and limited re-touch.The tool measures 48.7mm long, 31.5mm wide and 11.5mm thick. The weight is 19.93g.
