Description: | A small flint blade of probable early Neolithic date. Part of an assemblage of flintwork - see also BH-ODE267, BH-0ED854, BH-0DBDF7, BH-0EF897, BH-0F18A3 and BH-0D19A7.
The tool is triangular in section and exhibits a clear bulb-of-percussion and ripples on the ventral surface. The left hand side has a toothed appearance which may be the result of wear but has probably been deliberately serrated to create a sawing tool. The flint is light greyish-brown in colour. The tool is broken at the bottom.
The object measures 31.3mm long, 9mm wide and 4.9mm thick. The weight is 1.41g. | Subjects: | Flint blade | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
