Description: | A complete flint blade, probably dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic period (c. 10,000 - 2100 BC). This particular blade is slightly curved in plan, with a pronounced bulb of percussion and a very small platform, in addition to ripples of percussion. The dorsal surface has been modified with multiple small flakes and it seems that both lateral edges have been retouched slightly. Because of its slightly curved shape, it is possible this was used as a scraper. It measures 39.04 mm long, 17.78 mm max. width, 7.71 max. thickness, and weighs 4.7 grams.
