LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Unique ID: NLM-2F6994
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Pale honey-coloured flint with reformed cortex patch; lithic implement. A thin flake with larger flakes struck from its dorsal side, one scar patinated but the rest not, and defining a triangular point. The ventral side has a bulb at one side [as viewed here]. Very short abrupt retouch follows the concave edge on one side of the point, producing 7 tiny indentations per cm, so a serrated cutting edge lies on one side of a delicate point. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.
