Description: | This flint object is probably a truncated Neolithic blade. When you run a finger tip up the ventral surface, there is a diffuse yet distinct bulbar scar, indicating the distal end. The dorsal surface has a single distinct lateral edge. There is little sign of any re-touch however, there is on close examination, some edge feathering and adjacent conchoidal scarring (nibbling?) present on the edge at the probable break point. Perhaps we have the remains of a once longer blade. That edge which remains has a length of 25.8mm. The material is a pale to mid brown flint with a single pale cream inclusion running through it.
