Description: | Waste flake knapped from good quality dark brown-black flint. The flint is semi-transparent where it is a slightly lighter brown in colour. There is a small bulb of percussion on the proximal end, with impact ripples extending down the complete length of the ventral surface to the distal end. There is scaring on the dorsal surface where a previous flake had been removed. One edge of the flake is covered in a natural mid-brown cortex. There is possibly some abrupt retouch on the distal end, however this may be damge from post-depositional activity on the plough soil. The flake is 46.73mm long, 33.38mm wide, 13.61mm thick and weighs 18.09 grams. The flake probably dates from the Mesolithic or Neolithic. | Subjects: | Waste | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
