Lithic Implement

Unique ID: LVPL-AD5A13

Object type certainty: Certain

Part of a flint tool, possibly a knife or a projectile point. Light brown colour with some of the cortex still remaining. There have been flakes removed from both faces, although it is unclear if any retouch has taken place. It is possible it is an unfinished tool.

The implement has a lenticular cross section. What remains is sub-circular in plan. The flat base is where it has broken. It is possible it has been struck by the plough whilst in the ground to break it.
