Description: | Mesolithic to Neolithic worked flake, knapped from dark brown flint. There is a slight bulb of percussion at the proximal end with impact ripples running along the length of the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has narrow ridges along its length where previous flakes have been removed. Impact ripples from these previous removals run both from the proximal end and the distal end, suggesting that the flint nodule was turned 180 degrees during knapping. There is semi-abrupt retouch along the right edge of the flint. It is 48.83mm long, 22.53mm wide, 6.48mm thick and weighs 9.07 grams.
