Description: | One tertiary waste flake / debitage of Neolithic date (3500 to 2100 BC). The flint is a light grey colour and has been burnt. It is irregular in plan. The dorsal (upper) face exhibits a series of ridges. The ventral (lower) face exhibits conchoidal ripples and a bulb of percussion as evidence of working. There are uncontrolled flint scars present on both the dorsal (upper) and ventral (lower) faces which are the result of post depositional damage due to either movement in the soil or plough roll. The flake measures 42.56mm length, 36.89mm width, 11.96mm thick and weighs 15.6 grams.
