Description: | A re-touched flint flake tool of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. Part of a large assemblage of Mesolithic to Bronze Age flintwork*.
The tool is made from a broad sub-trapezoidal flake. Part of the original core platform is visible and the flake appears to have been struck from one of the top corners. The dorsal surface has several arrises and a small portion of cortex. Close to the bottom of the left hand edge is a deliberately cut notch. The flat bottom edge has been invasively re-touched to create a scraping tool, whilst the right hand vertical edge shows signs of wear. The flint is dark yellowish-brown in colour.
The tool measures 41.2mm long, 39.5mm wide and 11.4mm thick. The weight is 19.77g.
