Description: | A flint implement of probable Neolithic or early Bronze Age date. The implement measures 50.7mm by 34.3mm by 9.8mm and weighs 8.7g. It has been made from a secondary flake (30% nodule cortex on the dorsal surface) of slightly transparent dark brown flint. It is fresh and complete. The striking platform and part of the bulb of percussion have been removed by short semi-abrupt retouch. This extends down one lateral side and has been carried out on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces, to form a scraping edge. The other lateral side has a concave curve. This also appears to have been retouched, again on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces. This retouch is very fine and tiny and has created a denticulated edge.
