Description: | Knapped flint blade, tertiary piece with two small areas of retouch and a snapped distal end. The ventral side has a bulb of percussion, bulb scars, percussion waves and short areas of short, scalar semi-abrupt retouch in the cenre of the left edge and towards the distal end of the right edge. It was struck from a prepared platform with a central aris on the dorsal face from previous flake removals from the core. Single pieces of flint with few diagnostic features are hard to date precisely but well made blades of this type are usually Mesolithic to Neolithic in date (8000-2100 BC). It is 48.9mm long, 21.7mm wide, 7.8mm thick; weighs 6.27 grams and made of high quality dark grey flint.
