Description: | A Neolithic flint flake, dating to 4500-1500BC. A large light grey/browny tertiary flint flake, sub lozenge shape with a large converging distal end. There are a few barnacles and post depositional damage from being close to the shore. It measures 75.88mm in length, 51.76mm wide, 17.99mm thick and weighs 56.91g.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.
