Description: | A flint flake tool, possibly made from a core rejuvination flake. Probably dates from the early Neolithic period. Part of a large assemblage of Mesolithic to Bronze Age flintwork*.One side of the dorsal surface has two flake removal scars, one of which is very broad and one narrower. These flake scars are aligned transverse to the sub-rectangular tool and are probably flake scars from the original core surface. The other side of the dorsal surface is probably part of the core platform. All sides have been re-touched, the main area of working being along one of the vertical edges. On the reverse is a bulb-of-percussion and rippling. The flint is dark yellowish-brown in colour.The tool measures 52mm long, 23.9mm wide and 12.8mm thick. The weight is 16.92g.*See also: BH-D7D6B1, BH-D80626, BH-D85097, BH-2C8256, BH-2DC9D5, BH-2E2601, BH-2E5412, BH-2EA041, BH-2EB740, BH-2ECED3, BH-2F2323, BH-2F74C0, BH-2FA0C8, BH-2FCA68, BH-2FEC65, BH-301025, BH-303421, BH-304DB2, BH-305CD4, BH-307338, BH-30A518, BH-30BA93, BH-30D1D6, BH-56E0B2.
