Description: | A flint blade which is probably a blank for making a microlith, but which is not retouched, so is not a tool form. It dates from the Mesolithic period, about 10,000 BC - 4000 BC. It is formed on a mottled yellow grey flint blade which is semi-translucent and is not patinated. It is sub-triangular in shape and trapezoidal in plan. The blade is not retouched but is of a form that if retouched would be a triangular or crescentic Group B microlith. It is 29mm long, 9.2mm wide and 2.1mm thick. It weighs 0.55gm.
