Description: | A flint blade, probably Mesolithic or early Neolithic in date. At the proximal end is the small striking platform, below which on the ventral side is a small bulb of percussion and pronounced bulbar scar. Ripples radiate down the ventral side. The two long edges are fairly parallel and there are two main longitudinal ridges on the dorsal side and an area of nodule cortex on one edge. The slightly transparant light greyish-brown flint has a mid gloss patina.
