Description: | Flint blade on a secondary flake of probable Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. The object is long, thin and trapezoidal in cross-section. There are two long, central removals on the dorsal face, flanked on each side by a further long one. The removal to the left remains covered with cortex. Patches of very fine, irregular retouch can be seen along both edges, creating a serrated effect. Further abrupt, short, scaled retouch can be seen at the distal end, creating a slight point. The object is light grey-brown colour with a shiny patina that is milky in places.Length: 35.31mm, Width: 15.22mm, Thickness: 4.28mm, Weight: 3.1g
