Description: | A re-touched flint flake tool of probable Neolithic date.
At the proximal end of the tool are what appears to be the remannts of two adjacent core platforms. From the base of these platforms the sides angle gradually downwards, terminating in a short horizontal edge. The dorsal surface is wide and flat, with a single arrise on each side; the ventral surface has a clearly defined bulb-of-percussion and ripples. Re-touching has been carried out on both sub-vertical sides and on the short vertical side at the distal end. The flint is mid brown in colour and has little patination.
The tool measures 43.3mm long, 28.9mm wide and 8mm thick. The weight is 10.09g. | Subjects: | Re-touched flint flake tool | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
