Description: | Large secondary flint waste flake, likely dating from late Neolithic (c.2,700BC) to late Bronze Age (c.801BC). The flake is mostly a light browny-grey with some patches of light grey-white, a very dark grey patch by the bulb of percussion and light brown cortex covering the stirking platform. The bulb of percussion is clear and just below the striking platform on the ventral face with very clear ripples down the ventral face due to the striking, both thest features on a clear uncortexed piece of flint suggest hard hammer striking indicative of later prehistoric flint technologies. Some shallow flaking on the dorsal side possibly indicating secondary utilisation or extensive working before removal from the core.Measurements: 44.63mm long, 44.12mm wide, 16.61mm thick and 36.71g in weight.
