Description: | A complete knapped flint flake, probably dating to the Neolithic period, between 4000 - 2200 BC (length: 18mm; width: 14.5mm; thickness: 5mm; weight: 1.2g).On the ventral side of the artefact, there is a distinctive bulb of percussion with some radial scars extending outwards from the striking platform. Faint ripples or 'lunettes' are also visible. On the dorsal side, there are three main arrises but no retouch is noticeable. 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.
