Description: | Dark grey semi-translucent flint of good quality with cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, knife. Long flake with two long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface. It is uncertain whether the appearance of very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect arises from fortuitous impacts against one long edge, but this damage does not appear on the opposite edge. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 34.7mm, Width: 11.6mm, Thickness: 3.4mm, Weight: 2.27gms
