LITHIC IMPLEMENT

Unique ID: LIN-01C072

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Flint knife. The knife is roughly triangular in plan, with retouch along the two long sides. There are two main flake removals from the dorsal surface. There is some cortex at the proximal end on both the dorsal and the ventral surface, however it is not clear whether this is recortication, especially since there appears to be a clear striking platform covered in cortex. The flint is a pale blue mottled colour.
