Description: | Grey flint with cortex serrated implement. Flake with two parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side leaving a strip of cortex along one edge, and ripples on the ventral surface. Very fine serrations, more easily felt than observed, may be formed by very abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect along the long edge opposite that with cortex retained. Patches of misty patina may suggest the object was exposed to weathering for a period after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 22.4mm, Width: 15.0mm, Thickness: 3.5mm, Weight: 1.32gms.
