Description: | A Mesolithic flint bladelet. The bladelet is incomplete, missing the proximal end where the bulb of percussion and striking platform would be. This may be a result of damage, or perhaps more likely, that it represents a stage in the working of a microlith. The lack of obvious retouch along either lateral edge or at the distal end of the bladelet perhaps suggests that this is not a microlith itself, but may represent an unutilised part of the bladelet.The flint is a pale grey to white in colour. The bladelet measures 19.05 mm in length, 8 mm wide, 2.8 mm thick and weighs 0.3 grams. It is triangular in section.
