Description: | A flake of tertiary debitage, dating from the Middle to Late Neolithic (c. 3000 BC - c. 2200 BC).The flake is sub oval in plan and oval in cross section. The ventral surface displays a couple of deliberately flake scars, and there is probable deliberate retouch around the edge. The flint is of a poor quality with several flaws, which resulted in hinge fracturing. Uncontrolled fractures due to plough roll and movement in the soil has meant that the controlled flake scars are hard to determine.The flake is a light grey to white colour, with orange spots. The opaque surface patination is due to time spent in the plough soil.It measures 42.57mm in length, 31.97mm wide and 9.72mm thick. It weighs 13.0 grams.
