Description: | Flint saw, almost tear drop shaped in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the right half of the distal tip extending down the right margin has three notches making an effective saw edge. The proximal end is cortex. The lower right margin is snapped and has a notched area. The left margin is backed cortex. There has also been some lower mesial flake removal. On the ventral side there is retouch scarring corresponding to the lower notch as well as some mesial flake removal.The flint is translucent with soft brown grey tones and light inclusions. The secondary cortex is dark cream in colouring.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 143, Fig. 5.129, No. F. 150 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
