Description: | A flint blade, probably dating to the later Mesolithic or early Neolithic periods (6500 - 2900 BC). The blade is subrectangular in plan, with a series of ridges on the dorsal (upper) face. The ventral (lower) face shows evidence of the bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples. There is evidence of retouch along both edges of the blade, with multiple small flake scars present. There are some irregular, uncontrolled flake scars, suggesting later post depositional damage such as plough roll or movement in the soil. The blade measures 33.91mm length, 18.16mm width, 3.76mm thick and weighs 3.6 grams.
