Description: | Grey-buff flint with cortex spot, scraper. Thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge, leaving one of the initial flake removal scars as a thumb rest. Angled scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect trims one side of the bulb, again to facilitate handling. Patches of misty patina may suggest the object was exposed for a period after its deposition. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.Length: 25.1mm, Width: 25.6mm, Thickness: 9.1mm, Weight: 6.02gms.
