Description: | Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age ?adze blade or small discoidal knife. Dimensions 53 x 47 x 15mm. Sub-rectangular artefact of pale brown translucent flint, unpatinated. One face has invasive flaking from the two lateral edges and from the putative cutting edge – the fourth side is probably a snapped break. The opposed face is largely formed of a natural plain cleavage with some minor bilateral retouch and also on the abrupt (?snapped) edge. This rather enigmatic artefact does not readily fit any of the common categories but is tentatively identified as above, and is probably of the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. | Subjects: | Adze | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
