Description: | A Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic flint blade.The blade is sub-rectangular in plan, the sides converging at what is probably the proximal end, which is slightly damaged. The piece is of triangular section along much of its length, with an angled flake removal at the distal end having created a wedge-shaped base. The surface of the flint is well patinated: the original colour is only visible at the damaged proximal end and also along a short length of the adjacent side, where the edge appears to have been retouched through the patination.Dimensions: length: 71.3mm; width: 23.9mm; thickness: 6.7mm. Weight: 11.54g.
