DEBITAGE

Unique ID: PUBLIC-593DFB

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

A small secondary flake of pale brown flint with a distinct striking platform and small bulb of percussion from a soft hammer blow. One side of the flake is covered with a cream-coloured cortex except for a single scar from a previous flake or blade removal running the length of one edge of the flake. There is no further working on the flake. This probably dates to the neolithic period.
