Description: | A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic date, circa 10,000 - 4000BC. The implement is a burin formed from a tertiary flake which is sub-ovate in plan and section. The ventral surface is mostly smooth with faint ripples of percussion. The dorsal surface is irregular. Spalls have been removed to either side of the blade creating the point. The distal end displays short parallel retouch and may have functioned as a scraping surface. The flint is a light brown colour. The implement is 20mm long, 17.9mm wide, 4.1mm thick and weighs 1.4g.
