Description: | A flint lithic implement, a multi-functional tool of probably Mesolithic date (about 9000 BC - 4000 BC). The multi-function tool is formed on mottled dark grey flint which is semi-translucent and not patinated. It is pointed with a rounded proximal end in plan and D shaped in section. The tool is tertiary with fine, low-angle retouch shaping it, particularly at the point and proximal left side. At the point there are removals from the end on the dorsal face, and on the ventral face, removals from the end and right side. The distal end seems to have been used as a narrow scraper, and the left edge as a knife. The dorsal face has long removal scars. The retouch at the proximal end is platform preparation. 44.92mm long, 16.86mm wide and 4.4mm thick. 2.5g.
