Description: | A Neolithic flint flake, dating to 4500-1500BC. The dark grey flint secondary flint flake with some cortex remaining. It measures 55.53mm in length, 48.93mm wide, 20.05mm thick and weighs 40.28g.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.
