Description: | A Mesolithic or early Neolithic flint blade. In plan the blade is an elongated sub-triangle and trapezoidal in section. The dorsal surface has three main linear vertical scars, and the ventral surface has ripples. The proximal end is broken, but this is not a recent break as the patina covers the edge. It measures 30.94mm long, 12.55mm wide, 5.76mm thick and weighs 1.6 grams. The flint is mottled pale brown/cream in colour due to its patination.The blade dates to the Mesolithic to early Neolithic periods (-8300 - -2900).
