Description: | PAS-RC07Grid A2A small snapped blade of later Mesolithic date (5500 - 3500 BC). The blade is broadly rectangular in plan and rhomboid in section. The upper dorsal face has a series of linear flake scars present created by the removal of other blades from the core. The reverse (ventral) shows conchoidal fractures, bulb of percussion and striking platform. The blade was originally much longer but the lower part is now lost / detached possibly via flaking in the Mesolithic. The two long edges both exhibit retouch creating serrated edges. The flint is a mid grey brown colour with a translucent milky patina in places. The blade measures 27.1mm in length, 13.2mm in width, 3.4mm thick and weighs 1.8g
