Description: | A utilised flint flake.
The flake dates from the Neolithic to Bronze Age period (circa 3500 ? 800 BC).
The bulb of percussion and striking platform both survive on the ventral surface.
Numerous blade flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface before this flake itself was removed.
The flake is heavily abraded on both surfaces and has a light greyish-white patina. Notches on the edge of the flake indicate that the flint has a light blueish-grey core.
