Description: | Group of 7 flints, 5 flakes 1 scraper and 1 natural stone. The general working is crude and suggest later prehistoric date, except for the scraper which may in its original form have been a flaked axe.
1. Squat flake, pronounced ripples, 98% cortex on dorsal face, some battering around the edges, possibly plough damage.
2. Flake with a convex end, retouched in the form of a crude scraper, however the opposite side has all over flaking and this may suggest that this flake was removed from a flaked axe.
3. Small flake, unpatinated, cortex on the proximal end, pale grey in colour, with a natural butt, probably a hard hammer.
4. Retouched flake, unpatinated, cortex on the proximal end, light brown in colour, with a natural butt, has retouch over 90% of the edge, has parallel flake scars on the dorsal face.
5. Notched squat flake, unpatinated, mid grey brown in colour, plain butt, has a retouched notch on one edge, has transverse flake scare on dorsal face, and is hinged fractuered.
6. Small snapped flake, unpatinated, dark brown in colour, 90% patination on the dorsal face, distal end is snapped off, plain butt.
7. Natural piece light brown in colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rolfe, James - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
