Description: | Probable flint burin of broad Mesolithic date (9000 - 4000 BC). The flint is cream coloured and is opaque. It is a tertiary flake and is sub-rhomboid shaped in plan and flat elliptical in section. There is short, parallel, semi-abrupt soft hammer retouch to the proximal end of the right hand side to form a burin point. This retouch forms a concave curve to the right hand side of the flint and additional removals from the proximal end create the burin point. There is a hinge termination to the distal end of the flint. It is 23.7mm long x 27.4mm wide x 6.7mm thick. Weight 3.0g.
