Description: | Blue grey flint with veined white patina possible knife. The finder suggests this to be an early Neolithic end scraper, citing Butler, C. (2012), Prehistoric Flintwork, page 126 plate 50 no. 5. This reporter would accept the date, though feeling the object may rather have served as a knife. Long parallel flakes were removed from the dorsal side, and the ventral is curved. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge, with either supplementary working or damage at the same site executed or incurred from the ventral aspect. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 54.3mm, Width: 18.2mm, Thickness: 7.9mm, Weight: 8.95gms.
