Description: | Translucent Orange Flint with whitish patinated surfaceProbable Flint Knife fragment. Thin curved flake with three flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect, two made from one end and one from the other. A further long flake removal scar along one edge indicates the removal of another flake before this object was detached from the core by a hard hammer blow which left a clear bulb of percussion at the end which had previously been struck once. The object was possibly hafted at this point. The tip of the blade was lost, probably as a recent break which affords a view of the light extent of patination, and other exposures of orange stone may also be recent. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 3500-2900 BC.Length: 21.7mm, Width: 11.4mm, Thickness: 2.7mm, Weight: 0.73gms.
