Description: | Retouched flake knapped from good quality dark brown flint. There is a small bulb of percussion with bulb scars on the proximal end, with impact ripples extending down the complete length of the ventral surface to the distal end. Approximately 60% of the dorsal surface is covered in a natural brown coloured cortex. The distal end is covered in cortex, and there is a hinged fracture at the distal end of the ventral surface. The edge of the flake which is not covered in cortex has abrupt retouch along its length. The flake is 33.88mm long, 20.91mm wide, 3.65mm thick and weighs 4.04 grams. The flake probably dates from the Mesolithic or Neolithic. | Subjects: | Retouched | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
