Description: | A complete knapped lithic implement of uncertain date, probably Neolithic to Bronze Age, circa 4000 BC - 1000 BC. The implement is a piece of debitage, or waste material, produced during the knapping process. It is sub-ovate in plan and sub-D-shaped in section. The bulb of percussion and striking platform remain on the ventral surface from which ripples of percussion radiate. The dorsal surface is irregular with flakes of varying sizes having been removed using a hard hammer. No retouch is present. The flint is a light grey colour with iron staining on the surface. The implement is 46.8mm long, 32.5mm wide, 9.6mm thick and weighs 16.8g.
