A knapped, struck flint flake probably dating from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age periods, circa 3500BC - 1500BC. This is a tertiary flake as no cortex survives. In plan, the flake is sub oval with one straight edge. The section is roughly lentoid. The flint is fine grained, with a an uneven light brown / light blue-grey patina. The surfaces of the flint are shiny. The ventral surface is smooth with a bulb of percussion and concoidal ripples clearly visible. The dorsal face has 1 central ridge. The distal end terminates in a feathered fracture. The flake measur…

In plan, the flake is sub-rectangular, with rounded corners at the distal end. The section is sub-trapezoidal. The flint is medium grained, with a light grey / yellow patina with flecks of dark grey. The surfaces of the flint are matte. The ventral surface is smooth. A bulb of percussion is present but concoidal ripples are not discernible. The dorsal surface has 3 main facets with no evidenc…

A knapped / worked flint flake probably dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age periods, circa 3500BC-1500BC. The flake has been reworked from a piece of tertiary debitage. In plan, the top of the flake has a broadly straight edge, and roughly parallel sides which meet at a central, rounded point. The section is sub-triangular. The flint is fine-grained, with an uneven light grey / blue patination. The surfaces of the flint are shiny. The ventral surface is smooth with visible concoidal ripples. The bulb of percussion is very shallow indicating the use of a soft hammer. The…
