Grey flint with cortex strip possible oblique arrowhead. A thin trapezoid flake with broad and narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral. The putative cutting edge is chipped. Patches of misty patina have developed over all struck surfaces, suggesting the object has endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment after its deposition. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC.
