status: Awaiting validation 
A complete flint piece of Debitage of Neolithic date (3450-2100 BC). The object is sub-ovate in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has four predominant negative scars. The proximal and distal ends have been blunted. The left and right hand edges have rough semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end with ripples of percussion emanating from it. A small section of cortex is retained along the distal left hand edge.
The flint dark grey in colour with light grey and brown inclusions throughout. The lithic retains a minor amount of light brown cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.
