Description: | A small worked flint object which may be the tip of a tool such as a knife. The flint is unifacially worked, with small regular pressure flaking on the dorsal side. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are missing because the flint has snapped just above the tip. At this point, the profile of the object is triangular with 3 flaking scars on the dorsal side. The milky light grey mid-gloss patina has been removed by the retouch to reveal more beige-coloured flint beneath. It is therefore possible that this formed part of a waste flake which was reworked at a later date. | Subjects: | Tool | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
