The chisel is long and thin. It is broadly rectangular, tapering only slightly towards the butt. The butt has been snapped off and the flint has re-patinated to a mottled milky white. The chisel has a lentoid profile. It has been extensively flaked along the edges on both faces. The cutting edge is unsharpened and has been formed by the removal of small flakes.Date: Neolithic - c. 3500 - 2100 BCDimensions: 126 mm x 32 mm x 19 mmWeight: 90 g
