Grey flint of good quality, probably not local, laurel leaf knife. An oval flake with covering angled scalar retouch across both its sides, producing an oval section, and with light battering along its long edges, the latter possibly fortuitously formed. The absence of patina might suggest this to have been included in a sealed context lacking calcareous material. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.
