Description: | A complete flint fabricator of Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age date (9000-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in profile and is concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has been invasively flaked in an irregular parallel pattern. All edges contain fine, semi-abrupt retouch and the proximal edge has been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is invasively flaked (parallel) and slightly concave. A minor amount of cortex is retained towards the proximal end, therefore this is a secondary flake.The flint is a light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is a light cream in colour.
