Description: | A retouched flint blade probably dating from the Neolithic period (about 3500 BC - 2100 BC). The flint is patinated opaque pale grey in colour and has flake scars on the dorsal face. The centre part of the left edge is concave and is retouched, and the far end of the left side tapers inwards forming a blunt point at the distal end on the right side. The distal end of the left side is also retouched. There are a few removals from the right side of the blunt point, but this seems to wide to be a burin, awl or drill. There is edge damage on the right side, and possible platform preparation on the dorsal face.
