Description: | An incomplete flint blade, dating to the Mesolithic period (10,000 to 4300 BC). The blade seems to be missing its full platform of percussion, but does possess a portion of the striking bulb and ripples of percussion, and the middle segment of the blade body. The tip of the blade is missing in addition to the upper platform area of the blade. The blade is very thin, with a carefully formed shape. In addition, there are indications of some possible retouch on the thinner edge (left edge in photograph). It measures 26.47 mm long, 12.19 mm wide, 3.67 mm thick, and weighs 1.3 grams.
