Title
Mesolithic Blades
Description
English: Two Mesolithic microblades, both of a grey flint with an almost blue tinge. They are quite small and fine and must have demanded some very careful shaping to achieve their regular, rectangular form. Both are slightly patinised, the larger with the typical white patina spattered across both faces, the smaller with a more unusual darker one, which streaks across the proximal end. These blades are characteristic of the later Mesolithic period and examples of a very similar nature may be found in Bond (2001, 116; ref. 2)

Larger Blade: L.: 38.45mm, W.: 12.15mm, Th.: 5.44mm, Wt.: 3.06g

Smaller Blade: L.: 27.03mm, W.: 9.9mm, Th.: 2.88mm, Wt.: 1.04g
