Description: | Grey flint possible backed blade, as kindly identified by the finder. Triangular section flake with long flakes removed from the dorsal side and the ventral. The ridge between these sites on the ventral side was then trimmed. A cutting edge was formed by very short abrupt retouch alomg one straight edge, executed from the ventral aspect. Other chips probably arise from more recent fortuitous impacts against long edges. A lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 41.9mm, Width: 14.3mm, Thickness: 8.3mm, Weight: 4.73gms.
