Description: | Pale grey-buff flint with light patches of misty patina, knife. Flake with long narrow parallel flakes struck from the dorsal side and a bulb and ripples on the ventral. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect appears close to both ends end where it is associated with a loss of patina, though the latter effect is more conspicuous on the opposite edge where it may have arisen fortuitously, and probably more recently. This may illustrate the Neolithic reuse of a fragment of Late Mesolithic debitage. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic, 7000-3500 BC.Length: 36.7mm, Width: 19.2mm, Thickness: 4.8mm, Weight: 3.84gms
