Description: | An incomplete knapped flint blade, probably dating to the Mesolithic period, 10,000-4001 BC. The fragment is missing its platform, but a portion of the bulb and conchoidal ripples remain, before the blade terminates in an old break. The cross-section of the blade at the broken surface is roughly triangular. If the proximal end is oriented upwards, the right mesial edge has been lightly retouched. The blade measures 31.1 mm long, 19 mm wide, 5.2 mm thick and weighs 2.43 grams. The flint material is of an even bluish-grey colour.
