Description: | Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (2500-1500BC) single piece sickle. Knapped from dark grey-black flint, the sickle is an elongated sub-oval in plan, with the cutting edge being relatively straight and the outer edge more convex. The outer edge is thicker than the cutting edge, measuring 4.82mm and 1.94mm respectively. Both ends of the sickle have been worked to a tapering point. The sickle was created using bifacial retouch which covers both faces. There has been further abrupt retouch along the cutting edge. The sickle measures 115.82mm long, has a maximum width of 30.22mm, a maximum thickness of 10.72mm and it weighs 40.17 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
