Description: | Late Mesolithic-Early Neolithic chert debitage dating between 8300-2100BC. At the proximal end a striking platform and bulb of percussion are evident. On the dorsal face there is slight evidence of ripples remaining and moving towards the distal point. On the distal end the object has been reworked to a point with evidence of weathering probably from initial removal from a weathered chert outcrop. There is also evidence of retouching on each edge of the object. There is evidence for post-depositional processes in the form of scars probably from plough damage. The ventral face also reveals post-depositional damage again probably from plough action.The length is 36mm, the width is 14mm, the thickness is 11mm and the weight is 5.44g
