A Late Mesolithic to Neolithic retouched flint blade, dating to 6000-2500 BC. It is a tertiary blade, which has been manufactured from a light grey flint core. It is sub-rectangular in plan and roughly trapezoidal in cross-section. It has been manufactured from a grey flint core by striking long flakes.The dorsal face is faceted, having a central longitudinal scar flanked by two parallel scars. The ventral face is flat except for a bulb of percussion at proximal end. The surfaces are covered by a blueish white patina with small light brown mottled patches. There is evidence of retouch…
