Description: | A Neolithic flint flake with re-touch, dating from 4000-2200 BC (length: 25mm; width: 28.5mm; thickness: 11mm; weight: 7.03g). The bulb of percussion is missing from the ventral side as the flint appears to be broken (as it also seems to be at the opposite end). However, there are still numerous radiatting ribbles or 'lunettes' running down the flint's length, therefore indicating where the bulb would have been. There are flaking scars down the left side of the ventral. Pressure flaking on the ventral created numerous flaking scars on the left side working edge of the dorsal. There is one single arise running down the dorsal's length which appears slightly off-centre. The flint has a grey/ borwn patina.
