Description: | A large and complete Palaeolithic flint waste flake (500000 BC-10001 BC).This flake is sub-triangular in plan. It has a small portion of striking platform with a percussion scar. Ripples indicate the position of the striking platform. The undulating dorsal surface is completely covered with light brown cortex. The ventral surface is slightly convex, light orange and grey. Modern damage around the edges is probably due to it being in the inter-tidal zone when found.Length: 117.5mm; width: 112.0mm; thickness: 32.6mm. Weight: c. 388.0g.
