Description: | Lithic blade of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. The blade has a striking platform and a bulb of percussion. No cortex remains on the surface of the mid-grey flint. There are flaking scars on the dorsal surface of the blade. Both of the blade edges, dorsal left and right, have been retouched. The blade is retouched, forming a tool. The flint is unpatinated and has some post-depositional damage due to agricultural activity (chipped edges). The dimensions are 35.25mm long, 17.98mm wide, 7.70mm thick and weighs 3.96 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
