Description: | Lithic implement: a secondary chert flake, probably re-used as a crude scraper
The bulb of percussion is not visible, while some of the flake-like surface scars are hinge fractures, probably caused by uncontrolled post-depositional blows that occurred in the burial environment or ploughsoil. There does appear to be deliberate, long retouch on two edges, though this is rather crudely executed. All in all, the flake seems likely to have been quickly manufactured for a particular purpose, and subsequently disposed of. It is difficult to assign precise dates to such rudimentary worked lithics. | Subjects: | Leaf-shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
