Description: | Later Upper Palaeolithic flake (15,000-8,300 BC). The flake surface shows evidence cortex reforming giving an indication of the age of the flake, it is also patinated from light grey to white reflecting the deposition chalk downland. On the dorsal surface (upper face) there are arrises from previous flake removals and sign of platform preparation and at the distal end (tip) there is some natural cortex, giving a square end to the flake. The bulb of percussion can be seen on the ventral surface (lower face) and there is possible use wear on both edges. Weight: 11.69g, Length: 56.98mm, Width: 28.29mm, Thickness: 7.63mm. These flints form part of a large collection of lithic implements and associated waste flakes from several concentrations on the Seven Sisters; see SUSS-80DBC3.
