Description: | Probably burnt grey flint with cortex, as kindly suggested by the finder, debitage. A fragment of flint with a curved end and of a lentoid profile not inappropriate to a polished axehead, and with two parallel chips struck from the dorsal surface, and possibly with two broad flakes stuck from the ventral side. The entire object is riven by crystalline fractures suggesting intense heating and possibly sudden cooling. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.Length: 29.5mm, Height: 42.7mm, Thickness: 22.8mm, Weight: 25.54gms.
