Description: | Perhaps a Mesolithic 8300 - 4500 BC worked flint fragment which could be debitage or it may be part of a broken tool as there is some evidence or retouch. The flint is good quality brownish-black with a few grey speckles that are probably impurities or inclusions in the flint caused by formation processes. There are 3 blade scars on the dorsal face and ripples at the proximal end from which it was originally struck which was possibly to create microliths but the bulb of percussion is now missing. The length is 20mm and the thickness is 20mm.
