Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A patinated and worn, incomplete utilised flake of flint probably dating from the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age (2500 - 1500 BC). The flake has snapped at both ends. The edges are very worn, probably by water, but show evidence of possible retouch or edge damage. Though not a tool form, this flake was probably utilised.
