FLAKE

Twelve flakes, dating to the Neolithic period.

Flakes 1-5: mid grey raw material 80% re-corticated (length ranging from 12.3mm – 29.7mm; width ranging from 9.3mm – 17.4mm; thickness ranging from 2.8mm – 5.7mm; collective weight: 5.81g). One of the flakes has the cortex present and a hinge fracture.

Flakes 6-8: dark grey raw material (length ranging from 20.2mm – 23.9mm; width ranging from 10.2mm – 15.4mm; thickness ranging from 6 – 8mm; collective weight: 4.61g). Two of the flakes have been re-touched along the distal edge. One flake also has a hing fracture.

Flakes 9-10: light brown raw material (length ranging from 24mm – 24.4mm; width ranging from 17mm – 20.9mm; thickness ranging from 4.3mm – 5.7mm; collective weight: 4.32g). Both flakes have a striking platform and pronounced bulb of percussion with eraillure scars below as well as multiple arrises and ripples or ‘lunettes’. They have both been re-touched along the distal and mesial edge on the dorsal surface.

Flake 11: honey coloured raw material (length: 22.9mm; width: 10.5mm; thickness: 6.1mm; weight: 1.76g). Re-touching on the mesial edge on the dorsal surface and terminating on a hinge fracture.
