Description: | Knapped flint flake with a notch. The flake is a sub-rectangle in plan. One long edge forms the striking platform. The dorsal surface has negative scarring and the notch has been knapped from this face along the lower edge. The notch is semi-circular in plan. The ventral surface has ripples from striking. The flint is a mottled grey with a matte finish. The flake measures 17.51mm long and 30.34mm wide. It weighs 3.27g. Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus p. 54) comments that notched pieces are found throughout prehistory, but are not a common tool. This flake probably dates to the Neolithic to early Bronze Age period (-3500 to -1500).
