Description: | A complete Early Neolithic flint implement manufactured on a blade (c. 4200-c. 2900 BC).This implement is lanceolate and sub-triangular in cross-section. The dorsal face has two major flake removals and has been retouched around the edges where the removals are mainly abrupt, semi abrupt and low angled, short and scaled. The ventral face has a bulb of percussion and associated ripples. On the dorsal face the arrises are sharp.This implement is grey and there is a small area of off-white cortex on the dorsal face at the distal end. There is no trace of gloss or battering.Length: 70.1mm; width: 27.8mm; thickness: 8.9mm. Weight: 18.07g.It is possible that the implement is a fabricator. See Butler 2005: 132, fig. 55, ref: 6.
