Description: | Blue grey flint, possibly collected from the East Coast, serrated implement. A curved flake with long thin parallel flakes struck from the dorsal side, a band of cortex probably deliberately retained to permit pressure to be exerted, and short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect along the longest, concave, side. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 52.2mm, Width: 16.6mm, Thickness: 7mm, Weight: 6.24gms.
