Description: | A retouched lithic implement of possibly Neolithic date (4000-2351 BC). In plan, the flint is sub-triangular, although the proximal end is missing. In section, the flint is triangular. The implement has a layer of opaque material and areas of light orangey brown inclusions in the flint, particularly at the point. The ventral surface is missing the bulb of percussion and striking platform. The ventral surface is mainly smooth with evidence of short, sub-parallel, low angled touch around the edges and towards the point. The dorsal surface has invasive, sub-parallel, low angled flaking across the surface. The flint weighs 12.42g and measures 29.80mm in width, 51.02mm in length and 9.44mm in thickness.
