Description: | A prehistoric flint waste flake with evidence of retouching for use probably as a scraping tool (Neolithic/Early Bronze Age). The flake is an irregular four-sided shape. It features an obvious bulb of percussion, with a large bulbar scar (c. 18mm long) on the ventral face. The striking platform is visible; each strike was away from the striking platform. Most of the evidence of retouch is on the top left of the dorsal face, which also has three main removals along with what seems to be a bulbar scar. The flint is dark-grey in colour, a small piece of cortex is visible adjacent to the striking platform.
