Description: | Grey Translucent Flint of high quality. Scraper or shaft straightener. Flake with three long flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect and a pronounced bulb of percussion on its ventral aspect, all from hard hammer working. Retouch comprises pressure flaking executed from the dorsal aspect along one slightly concave side. The opposite edge is blunted by hard hammer knapping, probably to produce a thumb rest. One end of the flake is pointed, though it is uncertain if this may reflect deliberate shaping as an awl, as edge damage in this area may be fortuitous. Suggested date: Early to Middle Neolithic, 4000-2900 BC.Length: 33.6mm, Width: 12.2mm, Thickness: 4.5mm, Weight: 1.72gms.
