Lower Palaeolithic flint biface.Boldly worked small nodule of cherty North Downs flint, appears to have been re-sharpened at its tip by the removal of two transverse flakes,one on each face. Two expanses of original thermal surface and a small area of worn cortex survive at the butt. The piece has developed a glossy creamy-white surface patination, marked with several patches of iron-staining.There are some minor frost cracks,while some of the higher points have suffered weathering.The tip has been broken and repaired since its discovery.
