Description: | A complete flint abruptly blunted blade of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains four predominant negative scars with corresponding negative scars. Both the proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted and the left and right hand edges contain rough semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly smooth with minor negative scars resulting from the retouch and a small bulb of percussion situated at the distal end. The lithic retains no cortex is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a mid-grey in colour with dark grey and cream inclusions throughout.
