Description: | A broken retouched flint flake or blade of probable Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date. The flake measures 24.8mm by 20.1mm by 6.9mm and weighs 3.5g. It is a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining) of light yellowish-grey flint. It is reasonably fresh, although the distal end has snapped off. The pronouced bulb and ripples on the ventral surface suggest the use of a hard hammer. The dorsal surface of the distal end and both lateral sides have been invasively retouched (there is also some damage). After the flake snapped, part of the broken surface also appears to have been retouched. The original implement could have been a plano-convex knife or other retouched form. | Subjects: | Retouched | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
