Description: | Prehistoric flint blade fragment, probably Neolithic (3,500BC-2,100BC) or possibly Bronze Age (2,100BC-800BC), broken. Incomplete blade, originally parallel sided; proximal and distal ends broken off; triangular in section. Ripples visible on the ventral side, along with semi-abrupt retouch along the upper half of what remains of the left medial edge. Two flake scars on the dorsal surface, and possible wear-through-use on what remains of the left medial edge. The blade is broken diagonally from (viewing from the dorsal) the right proximal side to the left medial side, and again at a less acute diagonal angle from the upper right medial to the left medial edges. Light brown flint with some white mottling; no cortex. Length (incomplete) 46mm, width 25.3mm, thicknes 7.1mm, weight 6.51g.
