Description: | Flake of flint debitage (waste product from tool production) of probable later Neolithic date (2900 - 2100 BC). The debitage is from the secondary phase of tool production as one face has a relatively large area of cortex (outer rind of flint nodule) present suggesting that it is derived from nodules bedded in chalk. The flake is irregular in plan and also profile. The dorsal (upper) face has a series of relatively regular flake facet scars present whilst the ventral (lower) face shows a clear bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples. These are in the same plane to the flake scars on the dorsal face. The flake is a brown grey colour and relatively unabraded.It flake measures 30.9mm length, 22.6mm width, is 8.4mm thick and weighs 5.17 grams.
