Description: | A complete knapped flint miscellaneous retouched flake with a notch on the right side, probably dating to the Late Bronze Age, between 1150 - 800 BC (length: 27mm; width: 19mm; thickness: 4mm; weight: 2.3g).On the ventral side of the artefact, there is a bulb of percussion, with radial scars extending outwards from an incomplete eraillure scar, as well as multiple radiating ripples or 'lunettes' below and running down the length of the flake towards the distal end. On the dorsal side, there are two arrises with small amounts of retouch on the left side. As mentioned above, there is a notch on the right side above a small area of cortex that still remains.A flake, according to Bond, C, J, 2004 'Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics, Version 1', page 202, is any material removed from a core, but not exceeding blade proportions in maximum length and breadth. A notch, also defined by Bond, is a flake or blade that has retained an indentation, worked by abrupt or semi-abrupt retouch (page 208).
