Description: | A flint flake, probably Neolithic dating to 4500-1500BC. This large, sub oval secondary flake has some cortex remaining in two small areas on its side and is grey to dark grey in colour with some post depositional damage. It measures 78.97mm in length, 55.89mm wide, 21.25mm thick and weighs 66.73g.The flints represent the primary waste from the manufacture of artefacts such as scrapper and arrowheads. The cores and flakes are knapped from pebbles and cobbles suggesting the use of local river gravels. The conditions vary from fresh to rolled and stained probably due to the different soils they have originated from.
