Description: | Mesolithic pick made from a flint nodule, cortex present on a small area of one side, the other surfaces are covered by white recortication. The general section is keeled with one flat face which curves along the length of the implement. Coarse flaking covers all faces of the object and, at one end, is a pick-like point. This has a triangular section and was pointed by means of heavy battering on its three edges. No parallels have been found for this object but a Mesolithic date seems likely. Length 153mm, Width 50mm, Thickness 49mm, Mass 308.0g
