Mesolithic tertiary mottled dark-grey/green/black flint blade. Some patination at distal end. Pronounced bulb of percussion on the ventral surface suggests the flake was removed from the core by hard hammer. There has been flaking on the dorsal at the proximal end to reshape it. There is retouch to the entirity of both medial edges. The concave edge has two notches worked into it at the proximal end. There is also a degree of retouch on both the proximal & distal ends. Dates from c10000 to c4000 BC.
