Description: | Grey flint lithic implement. A thin irregular flake with sharp edges. A pair of long broad flakes have been struck from the dorsal side, and there is a bulb at the end of a slightly concave ventral surface. Patches of misty patina accumulated, suggesting the flake endured a period of exposure. It was then retrieved, and very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect defined a curved hollow towards the end of one long edge, interrupting the patina. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.Length: 43.8mm, Width: 19mm, Thickness: 6.5mm, Weight: 5.16gms
