Description: | A possible knapped flint flake tool. The flint is a mottled mid to dark brown colour. In plan it is a sub-oval shape with an indentation either side. These indentations are possibly notches and are therefore a type of tool. The dorsal face, the face with three vertical scars, has retouch around the lower edge. The retouch is almost at right-angles to the dorsal face which is not typical for a scraper. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has a negative scar which may be a large bulbar scar. The flake tool, with the striking platform at the top, is 40.63mm long and is 36.96mm wide. It weighs 13.2g.
The flake tool probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods, approximately 2500 to 1500 B.C. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
