Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow
status: Published 
A flint probable retouched flake of probable Neolithic date, 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on heavily patinated and water worn flint, making the arises and edges very rounded and the working difficult to define. The secondary flake has some cortex on the right side distal end. The flake is ovoid in plan and lozenge shaped in section. There is very worn, probably short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch on the distal end and right side. The flake is 37.3mm long, 23.3mm wide and 12.2mm thick. 7.82g.
