Description: | A Neolithic flint flake, dating to 4500-1500BC. A grey to dark grey tertiary, probably a core platform with one sharp edge. There is some post depositional damage and discolouration from being close to the shore. It measures 49.53mm in length, 36.98mm wide, 14.01mm thick and weighs 28.11g.The flints represent the primary waste from the manufacture of artefacts such as scrapers 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.
