Description: | Semi-translucent high quality grey-brown flint with small patch of cortex on striking platform.Debitage. Struck flake with prominent ripples from hard hammer working, and either slight retouch or damage. The dorsal surface shows two parallel blade removal scars, presumably before a further strike removed this flake from a core. The selection of high quality material and the removal of blades may both suggest a Neolithic date. Suggested date: Neolithic, 3500-2100 BC.Length: 35.6mm, Width: 17.4mm, Thickness: 7.9mm, Weight: 3.38gms.
