Description: | A flint implement of uncertain date and function. It may be a Mesolithic or Neolithic side scraper (circa 8000-2100 BC). It is a biface with parallel sides, reminiscent of a Mesolithic or Neolithic axe or adze. It has an elongaged oval cross section. However it is thinner (10.78mm) than normal axes. The two ends do not appear to have received as much retouching as the sides. The butt end is flat and the edge at the distal end is slightly slanted. The implement has a mid grey mottled with dark grey patina. Length 48.22mm, width 48.54mm, weight 33.1g.
