Description: | A complete flint blade/knife of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. Both the proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted. The left and right hand edges contain rough semi-abrupt to low angle retouch. The ventral surface contains four predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises, the most proximal of which appears to be a hinged flake removal. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is light cream in colour with orange/red inclusions throughout.
