Description: | A flint blade of probable Neolithic date.The long sides of the blade are irregular, in one place because of the deliberate creation, through invasive retouch, of a concave scraping area. The bulb-scar is visible at the proximal end of the ventral surface, below which diffuse ripples are visible on the distinctly curved surface. The dorsal surface has a roughly vertical ridge at the centre and others branch off this. The flint is a very lightly patinated dark grey shade. The tool measures 37.3mm long, 18.7mm wide, 6.7mm thick and weighs 3.8g.
