A complete flint piece of Debitage of Mesolithic to Bronze Age date (9000-1200 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and plano-concave in section. The dorsal surface has two predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises. The proximal end has been blunted and the distal end tapers to a retouched blunted edge. All edges have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave with some ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end.
The flint is dark grey in colour. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
Length: 43.28mm, Width: 26.86mm, Thickness: 5.02mm, Weight: 7.0g.
