Description: | Grey flint with cortex backed blade. Flake with cortex trimmed from the dorsal side and with a bulb and ripples on the ventral. Short abrupt scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the longest edge with cortex retained on the opposite edge to permit pressure to be exerted. The lack of patina suggests this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after deposition. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 49.0mm, Width: 26.8mm, Thickness: 7.7mm, Weight: 11.40gms.
