Description: | An opaque black flint possible serrated implement. There are two possible flake removal scars on the dorsal aspect. There is a bulb of purcussion on the ventral side at one end. The flake has a sub-triangular cross-section. The distal edge is rounded. There is possible retouch along the whole of the left edge and towards the distal end of the right edge, however this could have been caused by running the flint along the sides of a blade to produce a serrated edge. These generally date to the early Neolithic period, however the prominent bulb of percussion on this object suggests it could be later.Length: 83.61mm, Width: 30.59mm, Thickness: 13.88mm, Weight: 20.97g.
