Description: | A probable Mesolithic flint blade, with retouch in the form of notches on the left lateral edge (when held with the dorsal side facing). These notches may have been used for stripping bark during the creation of arrow shafts, although they could equally have had many other functions. Some cortex remains on the edges of the flint. The flint has a pale cream patina with grey/brown inclusions. It measures 41.35 mm long, 18.44 mm wide, 4.46 mm thick and weighs 3.9 grams. It is trapezoidal in section.
