Back to the river, so pleased with this piece of worked flint I found yesterday as these aren’t found often in the Thames. Probably ended up as waste flint but clearly worked by someone from the Neolithic approx 3,500 - 10,000 years ago (evidence of this is the visible bulb of percussion on the stone, like ripples on a pond) who decided not to continue retouching it or working it into a tool/blade and abandoned it, maybe unhappy with the quality of the flint
