Description: | Small complete microlith made from yellowish/honey-coloured flint dating from the later Mesolithic-early Neolithic period. The microlith is very small and may have been formed from a snapped bladelet using the microburin technique. It is likely that this flint would have been one part of a composite tool or weapon which utilised many other small flints, quite possibly an arrow or a spear or harpoon.
