Description: | A complete knapped flint flake of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The flake is light brownish grey in colour with whitish spots intermingled, most likely originating from a chalk geology. A small amount of light yellowish brown cortex is visible close to the proximal end on the dorsal left side of the flake. A diffused and lipped bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral surface, suggesting that this flake was detached through use of a soft hammer. The platform is sub-lenticular in shape and the flake terminates as a hinge fracture. A single dorsal arrise is visible, with two flake negatives also visible.Measurements;Maximum length down percussion axis (mm): 48.62Width at midpoint of flake (mm): 23.88Thickness at midpoint of flake (mm): 4.67Platform length (mm): 9.32
