Description: | A flint core rejuvination flake tool of probable early to middle Neolithic date. Part of a large assemblage of Mesolithic to Bronze Age flintwork*.
The flint is irregular in shape. At the proximal end of the ventral surface is a bulb-of-percussion and ripple scars. The vertical flake removal scars on the dorsal surface indicate that it originates from a narrow blade core. The distal end shows a limited amount of re-touch, including a wide notch, located just over half way along one of the vertical edges. The flint is a heavily patinated creamy-brown colour.
The tool measures 56.3mm long, 35.9mm wide and 9.4mm thick. The weight is 22.04g.
