Neolithic flint flake
A geological section has been taken across the distal end of the flake. A cast was made before sectioning. What remains is the proximal end of a grey unpatinated flint flake and a rough semi-cortical edge to the flake. Analysis demonstrated tha the flint shows no characteristics - it could be from anywhere in the U.K.
