Description: | A flint tool; a denticulared blade dating from the Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic period. It is 54.3mm long, 23.3mm wide and 6mm thick. It is oval in plan. The blade is a tertiary flake which is worked on the left edge into two deep notches or denticulats with abrupt retouch. The right edge is backed. This tool was probably used like a saw. The flint is mid brown and opaque with a large white inclusion on the ventral face. A similar example can be seen on page 110 of Prehistoric Flintwork by Chris Butler. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
