Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A Neolithic (9000-2500BC) stone perforated object. It is in the shape of a Hyper-rectangle, similar to an axe head.
There are rough edges on the top, left side and bottom, which means that it may have been larger, but has eroded. The front, back and right side are still smooth.
The remains of the perforation still exist on the bottom right side, which has a darker patina and is smoother.
