Description: | Waste flake of Mesolithic or Neolithic date. Knapped from light grey flint, the flake has a bulp of percussion and a striking platform at the proximal end. 40% of the dorsal surface is covered in cortex. There is some orange-red staining on the surface of the flint, due to iron content in the soil. The edges of the flake show signs of damage due to agricultural activity. The flake is 64.9mm long, 41.74mm across at the widest point, and 16.21mm at the thickest point. It weighs 29.31 grams.
