Description: | Late Mesolithic-early Neolithic chert debitage dating between 8300-2100BC.Bulb of percussion is present along with the striking platform; the proximal end has minimal evidence of working along the edges. The ventral shows slight ripples due to the strike but also slight evidence of working along the edges. The dorsal has a ridge through the centre and evidence of working along the edges. Two blades have been removed from either side of the ridge along this edge. The distal end seems to show evidence of breaking off and snapping what was essentially a blade and there is evidence showing that re-working has been attempted to turn it into a borer or possibly even an arrowhead. Length: 29mmWidth: 21mmThickness: 2mmWeight: 1.89g
