Description: | A flint flake. This is a tertiary flake, there is no cortex surviving. It is triangular in cross section with the apex of the triangle at the left edge, the right edge is a flat section. It is possible that this object represents a fragment of a larger flake that has broken lengthways.The proximal end is jagged. The ventral face has a small bulb of percussion but otherwise no evidence of striking. This means it was probably struck with a soft hammer and may therefore date to the Early Neolithic (or earlier).The flake has a hinge termination at the distal end. The dorsal face is smooth. The flint is pale grey with irregular sized white speckles. There is no evidence for retouch. This object measures 35.08mm long x 11.98mm wide x 3.98mm thick. It weighs 1.62g.
