Description: | An incomplete flint implement of probable late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date (6500 BC - 2900 BC).The implement is in the form of a long tertiary blade, sub-rectangular in plan. The ventral surface has no bulb of percussion at the proximal end as it has been lost due to a transverse break. However, the ends of the bulb scars are extant. Waved ripples are present on this surface but are barely discernable. The dorsal surface has two major longitudinal removals and some other smaller ones. Both of the major removals have been struck from the proximal end. At the proximal end of the dorsal surface, on the left hand side (as viewed), there is a straight edge, 17.2mm in length, which has retouch in denticulate form. The right hand side of the dorsal surface at the distal end has small removals to form a pointed end.The implement is possibly of an unclassified type. It has a matt grey surface overall.47.2 x 17.9 x 4.9mm. Weight: 4.28g.
