Unique ID: YORYM-C70211
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A worked piece of flint flake, resembling the shape of a Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead, but the working is too crude to be an arrowhead. The flake has been bi-facially worked. The length of this artefact is more than twice the width and the sides are rounded and worked. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, there is some evidence of retouch along the length of the flake. The flint is a light whitish-grey colour with some flaws and iron staining.
