A flake of flint debitage of uncertain age but possible Mesolithic to Bronze Age date (9000 to 2200 BC). This is a flake of semi-translucent grey flint with white inclusions and a light patina. It is sub-triangular in shape and sub-triangular in cross section. The dorsal surface has three flake removal scars with conchoidal ripples that indicate that they were struck from the pointed end making this the proximal end. The distal end has been snapped off and the lack of patina at this end would indicate this was done at a later date. The original flake would therefore have been longer.…
