Description: | A notched flint flake tool of probable early Neolithic date. Part of an assemblage of flintwork - see also BH-ODE267, BH-0ED854, BH-0DBDF7, BH-0EF897, BH-0D19A7 and BH-0F36A1.
The tool is sub-rectangular in plan and has a deliberately created notch midway down the left edge. The other sides also display probable evidence for limited retouch and wear. The dorsal surface has two or three arrises, while the ventral has ripples and a bulb-of-percussion. The flint is a lightly patinated bluish-grey colour.
The tool measures 42.5mm long, 17.3mm wide and 6.3mm thick. The weight is 5.22g. | Subjects: | Notched 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 |
