On the dorsal surface there are two parallel longitudinal flake scars with a ridge between (just off-centre to the left), and a possible further flake scar at the base just above the distal end break. Fine wear along each edge. Fine translucent mid-brown flint with some minute dark and light speckles, no cortex. Probably early Mesolithic (8300BC-6500BC), possibly Neolithic.Length (broken) 28.5mm, width 16.0mm, thickness (max, across broken proximal end) 3.8mm, weight 1.63g. | Subjects: | blade | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
