Description: | 1: A flint flake, measuring 46mm in length, 28mm in width, at its widest point and 6mm in thickness, at its thickest point- in the area of the bulb of percussion. There is a small fragment of cortex visible on one edge, elsewhere the flint is brown/grey with a patchy pale white/grey patination.
2: A flint implement probably used as a knife, roughly rectangular in shape. Measuring 47mm in length, 27mm in width and 5mm in thickness, at its thickest point. There is evidence of some wear along one long edge and some working along the other. The flint is light brown/grey in colour.
Both of these lithic implements are probably Neolithic in date, although the first flake with the paler patination could be Mesolithic, although patination does also of course depend on soil conditions. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
