Description: | Retouched flake knapped from good quality dark brown-black 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 10% of the dorsal surface is covered in a natural brown coloured cortex. There is a hinged fracture at the distal end of the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has ridges and scaring where previous flakes have been removed. The flake is 36.39mm long, 26.09mm wide, 7.30mm thick and weighs 6.90 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 |
