Description: | Grey semi-translucent flint of good quality knife. Small flake with broad and narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a prominent bulb on the ventral surface. Veru short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge, though probably masked by subsequent minor impact damage. Further short abrupt scalar retouch at the same end as the bulb, but executed from the dorsal aspect, may be intended to trim a butt to enable pressure to be brought to bear. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed deposit shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 23.7mm, Width: 19.8mm, Thickness: 6.7mm, Weight: 2.62gms.
