Description: | Lithic implement. Hazel Martingell kindly notes that this is an early Bronze Age bi-facially worked knife. It is rectangular in plan and lentoid in section. It is made on a piece of rich brown flint with a patch of mid grey. Each face is clearly carefully flaked and the edges retouched. The knife is broken, having snapped at one end. It has a surviving length of 37.58mm, is 17.24mm wide, 5.36mm thick and weighs 5g. Knives of this date are considered to be unusual finds in Essex. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
