Description: | A Neolithic flint flake, dating to 4500-1500BC. The grey primary flint flake with cortex remaining on the dorsal side, very rolled and sub oval in shape. There are a number of barnacles on the flake and discolouration from being close to the shore. It measures 57.81mm in length, 46.44mm wide, 15.26mm thick and weighs 46.17g.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.
