Description: | Retouched flint blade of broad Mesolithic/Neolithic date (9000 - 2200 BC). The flint is a patinated light brown coloured, opaque, tertiary flake. It is sub-rectangular shaped in plan and sub-triangular in section. There is short, sub-parallel, abrupt, soft hammer retouch to the left side carried out from the dorsal face. This retouch cuts through the patinated surface of the flint suggesting re-use of an earlier flake for use as a scraper edge. It is 26mm long x 9.7mm wide x 3.2mm thick. Weight .96g.
