Description: | Knapped flint secondary blade with possible usewear. The blade is very long, trapizoid in section and slightly curved in profile. The ventral face has a bulb of percussion at one end, percussion waves and several damage scars down the right and left edges, possibly from use. The dorsal face has two parallel arises from previous removals and about 10% cortext remaining along the right edge. There is chipping down the left edge, possibly from use. At the distal end is a hinge fracture. It is 62.5mm long, 17.8mm wide, 4.2mm thick and weighs 5.97 grams. The flint is high quality mid grey material. Although it is hard to date single pieces of flint precisely well made long blades are more common in the Mesolithic to Early Neolithic periods.
