Neolithic flint retouched blade.
Translucent, dark brown colour. Secondary blade. Three unidirectional blade scars but there is evidence of a lateral removal from the left so orthogonal core working. Distal end abruptly flaked, with a small ventral notch on the left. Given its context in the Massey assemblage the intention to create another arrowhead, with the distal end forming the base, cannot be ruled out.
