A complete flint lithic implement of Mesolithic to Neolithic date 8300-2100 BC. The lithic is a sub-triangular shape with an obliquely blunted proximal end. The dorsal surface contains six negative scars with corresponding arrises. There is a notch to the distal left hand side and retouch to the distal left and right hand sides and some cortex remains on the proximal left hand edge. The ventral surface consists of a plano-slightly convex surface with cracking ripples running from the proximal to distal end.
The flint is a dark brown with cream inclusions
