An incomplete lithic blade of Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The implement has a small break at one terminal however as the length of this artefact is more than twice the width and the sides are more or less parallel it is identifiable as a blade. The section is roughly D-shaped with shallow sides on the dorsal surface. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, most probably due to the break. Ripples of percussion are also present along with some evidence of retouch along the length of the blade. The flint is a mid yellowish-brown colour with some lighter f…

An incomplete lithic blade of Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The implement is broken at one terminal however as its length appears to have been more than twice the width and the sides are more or less parallel it is identifiable as a blade. The section is triangular with shallow sides on the dorsal surface. The bulb of percussion and striking platform has both been removed, most probably due to the break. However, ripples of percussion are present on both dorsal and ventral faces along with some evidence of retouch along one edge of the dorsal face of the blade. The flint is a mid wh…
