Description: | Mesolithic pick, knapped from mid to light grey flint with patches of light grey-white. Most of the cortex has been removed from the surface of the flint however some cortex is retained away from the working edge. The working end tapers to a point and is worn with slight damage from use. The pick is roughly finished, and the surface is covered in flaking scars. A few small flakes have not been fully removed from the surface of the pick. There is some orange-brown iron staining on the ridges of the pick. It is 164.22mm long, 48.96mm wide, 50.63mm thick.
