Description: | White patinated flint, one fragment with cortex along one edge.Debitage. Two flakes (a and b), both with long flake removal scars on the dorsal aspect. Object (a) has a rounded end and the cortex may have permitted the use of its opposite edge as a blade - the retention of cortex might even suggest a Late Mesolithic date, though this reporter is chary of attributing single finds to that period; other notching of edges is fortuitous damage. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 3500-2900 BC.Length (a): 37.9mm, Width: 12.1mm, Thickness: 3.9mm, Weight: 2.27gms.Length (b): 25.0mm, Width: 12mm, Thickness: 4.2mm, Weight: 1.30gms.
