Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

Two secondary waste flakes / debitage of flint dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods (2900 – 1800 BC). Both the flakes are irregular in plan being more like chunks or chips than true flakes .Both have varying sized flake facets present on the outer (dorsal) faces, although some of these are uncontrolled probably from plough roll. There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present. Both flakes have less than 50% cortex (outer rind), which is a mid grey white colour – possibly originally from a chalk or limestone based procurement source. Both the pieces of flint are patinated and slightly grey surface colour. They have combined weight of 10.97 grams 1. Measures 37.9mm length, 13.5mm width is 12.4mm thick and weighs 6.33 grams 2. Measures 23.5mm length, 16.2mm width is 9.1mm thick and weighs 4.64 grams
