Description: | Late Mesolithic-early Neolithic chert debitage dating between 8300-2100BC.The bulb of percussion is not present and the striking platform seems to have been worked at the proximal end into a point. The ventral shows ripples that are the result of striking and there is also what could possibly be the remains of the core still attached. There is minimal working of the edges. The dorsal shows evidence of working along the edges and also possibly re-working into a scraper. The distal end has either snapped off or has had a blade removed. It seems that this was meant to be an arrowhead and was re-worked into a scraper.Length: 29mmWidth: 12mmThickness: 3mmWeight: 1.63g
