Description: | Pale semi-translucent flint of good quality with cortex. Knife fragment. Triangular section segment from a blade . Hard hammer working of the dorsal aspect has trimmed part of cortex, though its removal at its edge may be fortuitous. Pressure flaked retouch executed from the ventral aspect formed a durable cutting edge permitting use of cortex as thumb rest. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 21.3mm, Width: 24mm, Thickness: 8mm, Weight: 5.42gms.
