Description: | A serrated flint blade of probable Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. The blade is long and thin in shape and uses a tertiary flake. Both edges have irregular and very fine retouch, producing a slightly serrated cutting edge. The bulb is fairly prominent and the butt quite small. The tip of the distal end is missing, but the break is fairly sharp, suggesting that this damage occured post-deposition. The flint is grey-brown in colour, with a milky, speckled patina.Length: 32.69mm, Width: 17.04mm, Thickness: 5.12mm, Weight: 2.45g
