Unique ID: NLM-767152
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Flint with cortex possible serrated Implement fragment. Oval or ogival flake fragment with probably abrupt hard hammer trimming of cortex on the dorsal side, and with very slight denticulation along one edge (to left on first view) which is more easily felt than seen executed from the dorsal aspect. Chipped on the ventral side in antiquity, and covered by dense white patina suggesting a long period of weathering. Suggested date: possibly Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC.
Length: 27.4mm, Width: 24.8mm, Thickness: 7.6mm, Weight: 4.62gms.
