Description: | Flint notched flake of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date. Secondary flake - a small amount of cortex remains at the distal end. To the left of the dorsal face are three long, thin flaking scars, with a broader scar to the right. On the right edge (when viewed from the dorsal face) a small notch appears to have been deliberately manufactured. Produced using a fairly hard hammer. Dark grey flint with lighter patches and a slightly milky patina. Because of the crude and simple nature of the object it is difficult to date it more precisely than the range proposed above.Length: 26.50mm, Width: 21.55mm, Thickness: 5.52mm, Weight: 2.46g
