Description: | A flint lithic implement, probably used as a microlithic graver, of Mesolithic date, about 10,000 BC - 4000 BC. It is formed on a tertiary patinated flint blade. It is sub-rectangular in plan with an oblique distal end and is wedge shaped in section. It has short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch on the distal end forming a point at the left distal corner which could have been used as a graver. There are also removals along the right side and at the right proximal corner, two longitudinal removals along the right edge form a wedeg shaped point which could also have been used as a graver. The flint is 15.14mm long, 8.56mm wide and 2.36mm thick. 0.23g.
