Description: | Flint scraper with a hinge fracture or hinge termination at the distal end of the ventral face. The dorsal face has been unimarginally retouched from the proximal end down both the right and left edges.
The colour of the flint is a mottled beigey gray with litte specks of iron staining on both faces. No cortex remains on the surface of the flake, which suggests that it is a tertiary flake. The length to breadth ratio is 1:1.
Andrefsky (1998), illustrates an example of a flake with a hinge termination on page 86, Fig. 5.1(c).
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar type on page 124, Fig.5.113, Riley Type 3, which is dated to the Later Neolithic, and a similar example on page 141, Fig.5.127, Nos.6 & 8, which are dated to the Later Neolithic. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
