Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Retouched flint flake of Neolithic to Bronze Age date. Sub-triangular in plan and orange in colour with white inclusions. There are conchoidal fracture marks on the ventral face of the flint; these are spread out and so imply a soft blow method of production such as the use of a bone implement. There are further fracture marks along two edges of the flake, on the dorsal side only; these are small along the very edge with larger pieces flaked off towards the centre of the flake on one edge, representing two stages of reshaping. On the other retouched edge the flakes are slightly larger…
