Title
DUR-C37AE2 : Microburin : Mesolithic
Description
English: A complete flint microburin of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface has three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The left hand edge has fine semi-abrupt retouch. The lithic has two projecting spurs along its left and right sides of the distal edge. The ventral surface has ripple of percussion emanating from the proximal end. The flake retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.

The flint is cream in colour with grey inclusions throughout.
