Description: | A Neolithic flint flake, dating to 4500-1500BC. The dark grey primary flint flake with cortex remaining on the dorsal side and an evident platform. It measures 64.52mm in length, 53.67mm wide, 21.4mm thick and weighs 77.58g.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.
