Description: | Lithic blade of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. The blade has a striking platform and a bulb of percussion. 30% of the dorsal surface is covered in cortex and there are flaking scars on the exposed flint. The distal end of the blade has been snapped. The flint is mid-grey in colour with a large orange-brown patch. The flint is unpatinated and has some post-depositional damage due to agricultural activity (chipped edges). The dimensions are 37.53mm long, 22.89mm wide, 6.63mm thick and weighs 5.72 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
