Description: | A core rejuvenation flake of probable Mesolithic date (6500 - 3500 BC). The flake is broadly rectangular in plan with a curved profile and triangular section. Both edges, either side of the central crest have had long parallel sided blade-lets removed from them, presumably these blades formed microliths or other tools. On the ventral face a clear platform of percussion and conchoidal ripples are present. On the edge of one face is a slight notch which is augmented with abrupt percussion, possibly suggesting that the debitage has been reused. The flint is a mottled grey colour with off white inclusions. It measures 39.8mm length, 17.2mm width is 7.5mm thick and weighs 4.55 grams.
