Description: | Grey flint of good quality serrated implement. Long flake with long parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and flat with faint ripples on the ventral. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect follows the longest, gently curving, edge, producing a cutting edge so finely serrated it is easier felt than observed. The opposite edge is flat, and perhaps permitted the exertion of pressure. The lack of patina may indicate this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 20.0mm, Width: 11.2mm, Thickness: 2.5mm, Weight: 1.43gms.
