Description: | Grey flint possible knife. Trapezoid flint with long narrow parallel bladelets struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral surface. A pair of small parallel scalar chips at the broad end executed from the dorsal aspect may trim the butt. Light patches of misty patina suggest the object was exposed for a period after its deposition. The tip at the narrower end may have been broken in antiquity; slight edge damage is probably adventitious. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 35.1mm, Width: 18.4mm, Thickness: 6.9mm, Weight: 4.54gms.
