Description: | A Mesolithic flint blade. The blade does not appear to have been subject to further retouch after having been struck from its core. The bulb of percussion and bulb scar are clearly visible at the butt of the blade, on the ventral side. The dorsal face has negative removal scars where other flakes were removed from the core previously. The tip of the blade is missing, and judging by the even patina this is an ancient break. The flint is a pale cream colour with small orange to brown inclusions. The flint is broadly triangular in section. It measures 35.4 mm long, 15.4 mm wide, 6.5 mm thick and weighs 2.9 grams.
