Title
Mesolithic Backed Blade
Description
English: Pale grey-buff translucent flint of good quality with cortex strip, backed blade. Long blade with long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a rippled ventral surface; of slightly wavy profile. A strip of cortex appears to have been retained along one long edge to permit pressure to be brought to bear when using the opposite cutting edge. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context sghortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.

Length: 40.6mm, Width: 13.2mm, Thickness: 5.0mm, Weight: 3.08gms.
