Description: | Pale toffee coloured flint with cortex, backed blade. Elongated flake with long parallel bladelets struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb and ripples on the ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long curving edge; cortex is retained on the opposite edge, perhaps to enable pressure to be brought to bear. The lack of patina may suggest the object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 48.3mm, Width: 21.2mm, Thickness: 7.1mm, Weight: 7.98gms.
