Description: | A complete chert possible blade or rod of Late Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular. The dorsal surface is convex and contains four predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises and evidence of hinged flake removal within the mesial portion. Both the proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted. There is a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch along the distal left hand edge. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end.The chert is cream in colour. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.Length: 58.56mm, Width: 15.85mm, Thickness: 5.88mm, Weight: 5.3g.
