Description: | A possible Mesolithic to early Neolithic flint burin. Unusually small in size, but signs of deliberate working suggest that it is not the result of accidental damage. Secondary flake, a small amount of cortex remains at the proximal end. Sub-triangular in shape, but with a missing tip at the distal end. Small amount of short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch to the upper left edge of the dorsal face. Evidence of spalls removed from either side of the proximal end. The flint is mid-grey in colour with milky speckles.1. Length: 19.33mm, Width: 13.02mm, Thickness: 4.53mm, Weight: 1.09g
