Pale grey flint with re-forming cortex, possible debitage. Flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a tiny bulb or positive hinge fracture at the narrow end of its ventral surface, which is slightly concave. Patches of misty patina may suggest a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, the cortex may have re-formed during immersion.

Flint possible arrowhead. Lozengiform or rhomboid thick flake with broad flakes struck from both dorsal and ventral surfaces; an unusually symmetrical object although thicker than the leaf-shaped arrowheads of the early Neolithic. Either end could have served as point or cutting edge, and fine serrations appear on the curved end and perhaps along the sides as well, so this may have been mounted ‘inverted’ as an oblique arrowhead. A dense white patina may suggest the object has endured long exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: possibly Late Neolithic, 2700-2…

Intrusive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect appears at the ends of the object, while concave chips suggest hard hammer retouch executed from the ventral aspect, with subsequent battering of the thin ?cutting edge this produced. Unusually for flint from this area, there is no trace of subsequent patination, which might suggest the object was immediately incorporated into a sealed deposit from which it has only recently been dis…
