Description: | An incomplete flint blade of Mesolithic to early Neolithic date.
The tool is fairly broad and, apart from three arrises, has a flat upper surface. Both of the vertical outer edges are angled. The right hand edge is slightly serrated, perhaps deliberately or through use; the left hand edge retains the white flint cortex. The tool appears to have been broken off at the bottom. At the top of the reverse side is a diffuse bulb-of-percussion and rippling. The flint is a lightly patinated blueish-grey colour.
The blade measures 33.2mm long, 12.4mm wide and 3.2mm thick. The weight is 1.42g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
