Description: | A shaped waste flake, which could be a burin dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic period (circa 8300 ?? 2100 BC).
The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed. Ripples of percussion are also still evident.
One end of the flake has been shaped into a point, like a burin and has been heavily retouched. The rest of the dorsal surface (approximately 80%) is coated with the natural cortex. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
