Description: | A complete flint microlith of late Mesolithic date (7000-3500 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular and plano-concave in profile. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The proximal edge has been blunted and the distal end tapers into a point due to a notched facet on the left hand edge. All edges contain semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is concave with ripples of percussion emanating from the distal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a mid-brown in colour with cream inclusions.
