Description: | This is a piece of debitage. The flake is similar in colour to the axe thinning flake (Public 103CB4) from the preform stage of creating an axe, removed by a soft hammer, and could be part of the same debitage. There is a hinge fracture at the distal margin.The flint is brown to black in colour with tertiary cortex and of unknown origin.Butler (2005) illustates an axe thinning flake on P.141 Fig 58 No 5, which he places in the Neolithic.
