Unique ID: GLO-509586
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Neolithic
Length 29mm, width 20mm, thickness 10mm
The most of the bulb of percussion is missing from the ventral, obscured by multiple flaking scars, although the bottom of the bulb and the emanating ripples are still visible. There are two arises on the dorsal with retouch down both the side edges and the bottom edge. The edge down the left side is a scraper, the edge is rather jagged with small flaking scars removed from both the ventral and dorsal sides, this has resulted in a very steep beveled edge, this continues around the bottom edge. The right edge has a notch 9mm long and about 3mm deep knapped into the centre, the flaking scars from the ventral side creating an almost vertical edge.
Mid grey patina with both light and dark grey patches.
