Description: | A waste flake Mesolithic to Neolithic period (circa 8300 ?? 2100 BC).
The bulb of percussion and striking platform both survive on the ventral surface. A large scar is also evident.
Numerous blade flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface before this flake itself was removed. There is some evidence of platform preparation on the dorsal surface. 10% of the dorsal surface is still coated with the natural cortex.
The flake has broken off square at the opposite terminal to the striking platform. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hutchinson, Ruth | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
