Description: | A notched flint flake/'Y-shaped' tool of probable early Neolithic date.The tool has been made from a roughly semi-circular flake which has had one corner removed to create a deep, broad notch. Apart from the notch, retouch is confined to the opposite end of the dorsal surface, where there is a point with adjacent small flake removals. This point is located at roughly the same place as the bulb-of-percussion, the majority of which has been removed on the ventral surface. The flint is dark grey in colour and only slightly patinated.The tool measures 52.9mm long, 30mm wide and 5.6mm thick. The weight is 8.44g.
