Description: | A complete flint worked flake of probable Mesolithic date (7000-4000 BC). The lithic is sub-spatulate in profile plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains four predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The proximal end has been abruptly, all other edges contain fine, semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface has a small bulb of percussion situated at the distal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is light grey in colour with cream and dark grey inclusions throughout.
