Description: | Knapped flint flake with a notch. The flake is a sub-rectangle in plan. The dorsal surface has vertical slender negative scars. Along a lateral edge re-touch has occurred on the dorsal surface forming a notch. The ventral surface has ripples from striking. The flint is a brown. The flake measures 43.7mm long and 19.18mm wide. It weighs 4.8g.
Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus p. 54) comments that notched pieces are found throughout history, but are not a common tool. This flake probably dates to the Neolithic to early Bronze Age period (-3500 to -1500). | Subjects: | Notched | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
