Description: | Tertiary waste of mid grey / white coloured flint probably dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age period (3500 - 1800 BC). The flake is irregular being broadly sub-triangular with a bowed curved edge. Clear secondary pressure flaking facets can be seen on almost the entire dorsal face. The ventral face is unworked. The purpose of this flaking is unclear and it is likely that this flake has been removed from a much larger tool either to repair it or rework it. The type off tool is unclear, possibly a plano-convex knife or sickle. The flake measures: 13mm length, 15.5mm width is 6.7mm thick and weighs 0.95 grams
