Description: | Number 5 on the attached photographs.
A waste flake, which itself has had multiple bladelets removed from its surface. One end of the flake looks as though it may have been knapped (through secondary working) into a rough burin shape. The clean notch was possibly used for removing bark or straightening arrow shafts.
Mesolithic (circa 8300 - 3500 BC).
The flake weighs 7.11g.
Some of the natural cortex survives on the dorsal surface of the flint. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, Grant - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
