Description: | A flint flake probably used during the later Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (2500 BC-1500 BC). It has been retouched and utilised as a tool, probably a scraper. About 1/3 of the dorsal face is covered in orange cortex; the flint has retouch at the right distal end on the dorsal face (along the edge of the cortex) and invasive retouch at the proximal end. Much of the remaining brown flint on the dorsal face is patinated white. The ventral surface of the flake has some cortex remaining and some white patination at the proximal end. The flint itself is of a medium to light brown colour. Resource: Butler, C. (2005) Prehistoric Flintwork, Tempus Publishing.Length: 26mm; Width: 16.1mm; Thickness: 5.2mm; Weight: 1.56g
