SERRATED IMPLEMENT
Unique ID: NLM-8C019A
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Grey flint of good quality with cortex spot serrated implement. A flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly concave ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal side follows part of the longest edge [at bottom right on the first of the three views]. A lack of patina may suggest he object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition, which may have taken place after the manufacture of a longer serrated edge was abandoned. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.
Length: 34.4mm, Width: 21.6mm, Thickness: 7.9mm, Weight: 5.38gms.
