Description: | A Mesolithic - Neolithic flint blade dating 8,300-2,100 BC. This blade is a tertiary flake with no cortex remaining. There are five vertical flake removal scars on the dorsal surface showing where other blades were removed from the core. There are two notches on the right edge near the distal end but it is unclear whether these are original or more recent damage. There is some possible retouch along the left edge and near both distal and proximal ends but there is also evidence of modern damage and the tip of the distal surface is missing.Identification by Jon Cotton, Senior Prehistoric Curator Museum of London.Dimensions: length: 52.71mm; width: 16.71mm; thickness: 5.23mm; weight: 5.25g.
