Description: | Number 3 on the attached photographs.
A microlith blade flake, weighing 1.30g. Early Mesolithic to Late Mesolithic (circa 8300 - 3500 BC). On the ventral surface the bulb is not visible, due to a break though ripples of percussion are evident. The dorsal surface shows signs of platform preparation, there is some possible wear along the left edge, and the tip of the flake shows some evidence of retouch. The flake fits comfortably in the right hand because of a notch which has been removed from the left edge of the ventral face, this coincides with the wear on the left of the dorsal surface. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, Grant - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
