Description: | A probable Mesolithic flint microlith. The tool has not been formed using the microburin technique, but rather appears to have been struck directly from a core, as a striking platform and bulb of percussion are visible. The flint is probably part of what was once a composite tool or weapon, possibly an arrow, which would have utilised many such flints mounted into a shaft. It measures 10.63 mm long, 3.92 mm wide, 1.58 mm thick and weighs less than 0.1 grams. It is sub-triangular in section. The flint is a pale cream in colour.
