Description: | An incomplete knapped flint blade finished into a crudely worked notched tool, such as a burin, dating to between the late Mesolithic and early Neolithic (6500-2900 BC). The proximal end has snapped off, including the platform and bulb; it is possible to feel ripples on the ventral face. A portion of on of the long edges of the blade seems to have been purposefully blunted, perhaps to facilitate handling. The mesial edge has possibly been retouched crudely and minimally for use as a scraper; however, due to the poor state of the flint blade, this is uncertain. The flint implement measures 52.93 mm long, 21.17 mm wide, 7.42 mm thick and weighs 7.93 grams.
