Description: | A long, curved blade of honey-coloured nodular flint. The ventral face has a small bulb of percussion below an area of flat striking platform and ripples across the face. The dorsal face is rough and predominantly covered in white cortex. There is some removal of cortex at the proximal end where the striking platform was prepared and there are two short blade removal scars running down from the distal end. There is no further working on the blade. It is likely that this is debitage from axe or core production and likely to date from the early Neolithic to the early Bronze Age..
