Description: | A flint blade of probable Neolithic date. The blade has been made from a primary flake and there is a sizeable area of cortex at the distal end. On the ventral surface at the proximal end are the striking platform and the bulb of percussion, from which ripples radiate. On the dorsal surface there are three main flaking scars. There is some damage to the edges. The mottled light to dark grey flint has a mid-gloss patina.
