Description: | A small flint blade of probable late Mesolithic date.
The blade is thin and has a slightly concave ventral face. It is uncertain whether or not it is complete. The Dorsal face has a central vertical arise, which creates a sub-triangular profile; a further two angled arrises are located at the distal end. One side has numerous shallow flake removal scars. On the reverse is a bulb-of-percussion. The flint is a heavily patinated blueish-white colour.
The object measures 22.3mm long, 9.4mm wide and 2.9mm thick. The weight is 0.6g. | Subjects: | Flint Blade | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
