Description: | Retouched waste flake probably of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date due to the quantity of blades and blade cores present at the same find spot. The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion and impact ripples extending down its length. A light cream-brown cortex covers 30% of the dorsal surface on this mid-grey flint. There are abrupt and semi-abrupt removals on the edges of the flake, which may have been used as a crude scraper (possible end and side scraper). The flint is unpatinated but has some post-depositional damage due to agricultural activity (chipped edges). The dimensions are 62.05mm long, 46.81mm wide, 12.15mm thick and it weighs 46.79 grams.
