Description: | A flint core rejuvenation flake of Mesolithic or Neolithic date, about 9000 BC - 2200 BC. The flake is formed on light grey mottled opaque flint with large white inclusions but no patination. The distal end and left side are battered. The flint is a rounded rectangle in plan and is D shaped in section. It is much thicker at the distal end. There are removals from the proximal end which are the ends of blade removals. They are from the dorsal face, stepped, long and abrupt. The battering damage has caused fractures and crazing of the stone. It is 50.9mm long, 36.4mm wide and 18.3mm thick. 27g.
