Description: | Flint with cortex spot possible knife fragment. Flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curving edge, producing a serrated cutting edge more easily felt than observed. The putative cutting edge is indented on one side, and probably altogether lost to a break incurred in antiquity on the other. Dense milky patina suggests the broken implement then endured a long period of exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.Length: 27.5mm, Width: 23.4mm, Thickness: 6.8mm, Weight: 3.92gms
