Description: | Dark grey flint lithic implement. Flake probably from the edge of a larger core bearing long parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal side and ripples on the ventral. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect at one end forms a boring point, with very short abrupt retouch adjacent possibly intended to produce fine serrations. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect forms an end-scraper at the opposite end. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.Length: 43.5mm, Width: 26mm, Thickness: 11.2mm, Weight: 14.57gms.
