Description: | Translucent flint of high qualityBlade. Knapped blade of angular plano-convex section. Hard hammer working comprises three long flake removal scars on the dorsal aspect, and a bulb of percussion on its ventral aspect where this flake was detached. The striking platform for the latter operation has then been retouched with pressure flaking adjacent to a pointed end; the other end of the object is lost. The selection of a high quality flint and its assured working suggest an early Neolithic date. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 3500-2900 BC.Length: 30.8mm, Width: 11.8mm, Thickness: 2.5mm, Weight: 1.28gms.
