Description: | An unpatinated flint biface of probable Early Neolithic date. It is sub-triangular in form and section with irregular and relatively crude all over retouch. The proximal end is missing and was probably snapped due to post-depositional damage. Traces of cortex are visible on the dorsal face . It measures 83.78mm in length, 46.07mm in width, 16.03mm in thickness, and weighs 49.64g. This is an incomplete lithic implement of Neolithic date. It was probably originally a leaf-shaped point and possibly an Early Neolithic 'laurel leaf', dating to c.3,500-2,900 BC.
