Description: | Snapped knapped flint blade of probable later Mesolithic or earlier Neolithic date (6500 - 3500 BC). The flint is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The ventral (reverse) face has a distinct bulb of percussion and conchoidal fractures which have been broken across loosing the striking platform and heel of the flake. The dorsal face show several flake scars. There is a abrupt retouch to the long edges on the dorsal face which is evenly spaced and creates a relatively regular scraping edge. The flint is a black colour with a series of flaws and different coloured areas in the matrix. The flint measures 28.2mm length, 19.2mm width, and 5.7mm thick; it weighs 3.09 grams.
