SERRATED IMPLEMENT
Unique ID: NLM-E264DB
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Grey buff flint with cortex serrated implement. Long flake with long broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral side. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge which, perhaps from use, is denticulated at one end. Damage along the opposite long edge appears likely to have arisen from impact damage. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.
