Description: | Number 1 on the attached photographs.
A small bladelet flake, weighing 3.79g. Mesolithic (circa 8300 - 3500 BC) in date. On the ventral surface the bulb and scars are very shallow and there is a small notch missing from the right edge of the flint possibly created for the production of microliths, this notch would have been placed in an anvil so the flint could have been broken accurately. Some of the natural cortex survives on the dorsal surface of the flint.
Both terminals of the flake have been broken. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, Grant - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
