Description: | Knapped flint flake with a notch. The flake is a sub-rectangle in plan and has a thick layer of cortex remaining on the dorsal surface. Along a lateral edge re-touch has occurred on the dorsal surface forming a curve. The ventral surface has ripples from striking. Along the notched edge on the dorsal surface there are five re-touch scars. The flint is a red brown colour. The flake measures mm long and mm wide. It weighs g.
Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus p. 54) comments that notched pieces are found throughout history, but are not a common tool. This flake probably dates to the Neolithic to early Bronze Age period (-3500 to -1500). | Subjects: | Notched | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
