Description: | Flint flake, ovoid in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the distal tip is half clean snapped and half broken edged. The proximal end has an impact fracture. The left margin is part cortex and the right margin is one large low-angle flake removal with edge wear. On the ventral side there are visible conchoidal ripples emanating up from the proximal end bulb of percussion where there is also impact damage.The flint is dark brown with a mid brown mottle and a secondary cortex of beige in tones and colouring. It may originate from Beer Head.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 131, Fig. 57, No. L. 113 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
