Description: | A thick flint blade of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The blade is a secondary waste flake. At the proximal end is the probable striking platform, a very slight bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. Ripples radiate down the ventral surface. On the dorsal surface there are three main flaking scars. Flaking along the long edges is probably damage rather than deliberate retouch. There is a small area of cortex at the proximal end. The mid brownish-grey flint has a mid-gloss patina.
