Description: | A Mesolithic flint side scraper on a blade. The blade has abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch down the right lateral edge (when held with the dorsal side facing). It also has abrupt retouch on the left edge near to the butt, probably to facilitate comfortable handling of the tool during use. Slight retouch at the distal end of the blade may suggest that this end was utilised as a tool also. The flint is of a pale grey to white colour. The blade measures 28.1 mm long, 13.7 mm wide, 5.8 mm thick and weighs 1.7 grams. It is lozenge shaped in section.
