Description: | Flint flake, probably dating to the Neolithic period (3500-2100 BC) which has been re-touched (worked) into a tool. The flake has some fine working along the right ventral edge and around the distal end. The flint has also been water worn so that the edges appear smoother than they would have originally been. The tool is likely to have been used as a cutting or scraping implement for working with animal hide. The flint weighs 4.05g and measures 27.4mm in length, 21.9mm in width and 5.7mm in thickness. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
