Description: | A flint flake of uncertain date. This is a secondary flake with cortex present along both of the outside edges and a hinge termination. The bulb of percussion and bulbal scar are both visible on the ventral surface. Ripples resulting from the concoidal fractures are visible towards the distal end. The dorsal surface shows some negative scars of flake removalA fragment of flint has been removed from the lower half of this flake giving it the appearance of having a notch and making it roughly L shaped in plan. The inner edge of the notch has a nibbled appearance but does not show any clear evidence for retouch. Therefore it is not clear whether this flake has been used as a tool.The flint is a translucent amber/brown and the cortex is white with some patches of brown owing to soil adhering. There is no patination. It measures 26.82mm long x 34.99mm wide x 5.02mm long. It weighs 2.54mm.
