Title
post deposition thermal flake scars on reverse.
Description
English: A flint architectural fragment or natural river gravel with the under surface made up of connected pot-lid thermal spall pits. These have left a ragged natural margin. This has occurred post-deposition and aquired incipient cream patination. The edges have small semi-abrupt and abrupt removals which are surely natural damage. The entire surface of the other side is made of convergent flake scars with their proximal ends truncated by the thermal losses of flint. The flake scars meet at a slight peak and the section is convex. The surface is river rolled, brown stained and cream and blue patinated.
