Unique ID: NLM-36F5A1
Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Pale grey flint, probably semi-translucent nut now patinated (almost - save for recent chips) overall. Probably debitage, though this may have served as a projectile point. Flake with three long parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect, and a bulb of percussion on the ventral. A jagged edge is the result of damage. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.
Length: 36.6mm, Width: 19.1mm, Thickness: 4.8mm, Weight: 3.18gms.
