Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Grey flint fabricator, as kindly identified by the finder. A thick finger-shaped flake with a single long flake struck from its dorsal side and with an undulating ventral surface with a bulb at its rounded end. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the long parallel edges, meeting at the rounded end. A dense milky patina suggests the object has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC
Length: 56.8mm, Width: 22.1mm, Thickness: 8.4mm, Weight: 15.33gms
