Description: | A re-touched flint flake tool of probable late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date.
The tool, which has been made from a broad flake, is sub-triangular in form. The upper surface has two broad flake removal scars, whilst the underside shows rippling from the initial strike. Re-touching has occurred around two of the three edges, with the removal of a single row of mostly very small chippings; the remaining side retains its original cortex. The flint is a lightly patinated mottled greyish brown.
The implement measures 29.6mm long, 28.9mm wide and 5.5mm thick. The weight is 4.91g. | Subjects: | Re-touched flint flake | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
