Description: | Blue grey flint with cortex and dense patches of misty patina, serrated implement. A small flake with long parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral. The accumulating patina, which is denser on the ventral surface, is interrupted by very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect along one edge. This may indicate the re-use of a flake which had already endured a period of exposure. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 27mm, Width: 15mm, Thickness: 4.4mm, Weight: 1.66gms.
