Description: | A flint 'rod' of probable late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. Part of an assemblage of Neolithic to Bronze Age flintwork ?? see also BH-105571, BH-10AAB6, BH-109296, BH-10E6C5, BH-110861, BH-1EBA74, BH-1E6C15, BH-1E8704.
The tool has been made from an irregularly shaped block of flint with flat dorsal and ventral surfaces. Retouching is largely confined to the narrower end, where pressure flaking has been used to create a chisel-like edge. The flint is a mottled light grey-brown colour and retains some cortex.
The object measures 80.1mm long, 45mm wide and 26.1mm thick. The weight is 116.79g. | Subjects: | Flint rod | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
