Grey flint possible backed blade. A nearly square flake with a hinge fracture and a flat surface on its dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral. Misty white patina has developed over these surfaces, suggesting the flake was discarded and exposed to a calcareous environment. This patina was subsequently removed by short abrupt retouch executed from the [original] ventral aspect, forming a cutting edge on two adjacent sides. The Neolithic could presumably accommodate both primary and secondary working. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC
