Description: | Flint blade/flake, truncated at each end and damaged by the effects of burning.
A small flake with a pronounced dorsal ridge (hence alternative identification of blade). It is difficult to confidently classify the type of object due to the damage it has suffered, and it is unclear whether all the flake removals currently visible are the result of human action or burning.
The flake has a chipped ventral face. The chip is close to the bulb of percussion and may be a result of burning. There may be fine retouch visible along the edges of the dorsal face, and flake removals can be clearly seen longitudinally on this face. These smaller flakes were removed from the core prior to this flake.
The blade/flake is likely to be of Mesolithic date due to the Trwyn Du findspot and its diminutive size. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Steele, Nina - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
