Title
Mesolithic Serrated Implement
Description
English: Grey flint with misty white patina serrated implement. A fragment of debitage with long thin parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and a small bulb on the ventral. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the straight long edge, formed a serrated edge so fine it is more easily felt than observed, and this edge subsequently accumulated patina. The patina is removed by very short abrupt retouch along the curved edge, illustrating the re-use of an old tool. The lack of subsequent patina may suggest the object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its final deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.

Length: 29.3mm, Width: 10.3mm, Thickness: 3.2mm, Weight: 1.15gms.
