Description: | Flint working debitage of probably the Neolithic to Bronze Age period, dating from c. BC 4000 - BC 800.The object is probably a tertiary waste flake removed from a larger core, it may have been subjected to further working.The object is broadly triangular in plan and broadly D shape in section. The right side of the dorsal face has 2 rectangulars removal which both have very shallow conchoidal ripple marks radiating from the proximal end. There appears to be some evidence of scaled retouch at a low angle on the right of the dorsal face at the proximal end. The ventral face shows shallow conchoidal ripple marks radiating from the proximal end. The bulb of percussion is missing. However shallow conchoidal ripple marks suggest stone was struck using a soft hammer.The object measures 24.0 mm in length and is 24.9 mm wide. It has a thickness of 4.1 mm and weighs 2.0 g.The object is a mid to dark brown in colour with little patination and few light inclusions. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Other similar examples of this type of object have been recorded on the database, including KENT-17CD9B.
