Description: | A complete flint flake from a large core, or possibly from the edge of a large hand-axe. It is roughly oval in shape and measures 82mm in length, 51mm in width and is 17mm thick. There is one recent break exposing a medium to dark grey flint but the rest of this flake is stained with blotchy pale, medium and dark browns. This flake is most likely to be lower Palaeolithic in date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -500000
