An incomplete teritary debitage flake, of probable Mesolithic to Early Neolithic dating (6500 BC to 3500 BC). The flake is sub rectangular in shape, and triangular in cross section. A ridge runs the length of the dorsal (upper) surface. The remains of a bulb of percussion are present on the ventral (lower) surface. Controlled retouch is present along both sides and can be classified as short, parallel, semi-abrupt. It measures 38.7 mm in length, 12.7 mm wide and 4.8 mm thick. It weighs 2.1 g. The flint is a mid orange colour, with some surface patination occurring.
