Description: | A Neolithic flint tool; a retouched blade which has been utilised for cutting. The flint is sub rectangular with abundant retouch on both sides and the distal end. The retouch is semi-abrupt. The blade has a double dorsal ridge which gives it extra strength. The distal end may have been used as a scraper, the edges were used for cutting, but the object is not a knife as there is no retouch on the ventral face. Denticulates have also been knapped on the left side which would allow the flint to be used for heavy duty cutting. These may have been a later addition. This multi purpose tool dates from the Neolithic. It is made from opaque brown flint.
