Description: | A retouched flint flake, probably a scraper, of possible Mesolithic date, dating from about 9000 BC - 4000 BC. The flint is a tertiary flake, being opaque and brown in colour. There is no patination. It is sub-triangular in plan with a rounded proximal end, and a straight oblique distal end. There is inconsistent short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt soft hammer retouch to parts of the curved edge and pointed distal end. The retouch has been carried out from both the dorsal and ventral faces of the flint. There are flake scars on the dorsal face indicating that the flint has been struck from different directions in production. It is 36.5mm long x 25.5mm wide x 6mm thick. Weight 6.12g.
