Description: | A Neolithic flint blade dating to the period c. 4000 - 2351BC. The blade has been manufactured from a tertiary flake and retains no cortex. The blade is broadly lenticular in profile and broadly rectangular in plan. Both the striking platform and the bulb of percussion are missing and there is a triangular negative scar on the dorsal side of the butt end. The dorsal side exhibits four negative scars in total divided by three arrises. The ventral side of the distal end is rounded which may be as a result of a weakness in the flint. Both ventral edges demonstrate abrupt retouch.
