Description: | Grey semi-translucent flint of good quality knife or bladelet, as kindly identified by the finder. Long flake with long parallel flakes removed from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral. Grinding of retouch of the bulb end of the flake, executed from the dorsal aspect, may be intended to render the blade tenable between finger and thumb. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its manufacture. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 35.1mm, Width: 13.2mm, Thickness: 3.7mm, Weight: 1.56gms.
