Description: | Flint microlith, formed from the tip of a snapped blade or flake, of probable later Mesolithic or Neolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The microlith is formed from the tip or point of a blade which has been snapped. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. Both the longer edges are heavily reworked with regular evenly spaced flakes forming a serrated point. It is likely that this microlith would have been set with several others into a tool, such as a harpoon, or multiple toothed blade. The flint is a creamy white colour. It measures 11.9mm in length, 13.2mm width, is 2.4mm thick and weighs 0.34 grams.
