Description: | A flint flake, retouched and utilised as a tool, and possibly originally hafted into a handle. The left edge of the dorsal surface is retouched to form a cutting edge and the right edge has denticulated retouch, possibly for use in a sawing action. The flake is broken mid way through the bulb of percussion, as a result of imperfections in the flint. It may have broken as a result of having been hafted, having snapped where the handle joined. The flint is pale grey to brown in colour. A tiny amount of cortex remains on the right edge of the dorsal surface, at the distal end. The flint was probably utilised during the late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. | Subjects: | Flake | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brindle, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
