Grey flint point. A thin sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a flat ventral surface with a small bulb at one corner. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge, perhaps to form a cutting edge. White patina then developed over all struck surfaces, to be interrupted by a limited zone of short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect which follows that edge opposite the earlier putative cutting edge. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC
