Description: | A flint microlith of probable early Mesolithic date (see Butler, 2005, p. 92).
The lanceolate piece has a short horizontal edge at one end and two convex long sides which come to a point at the opposite end. Both long sides show evidence of having been retouched in places, probably for the purpose of blunting the edge. The flint surface is a very heavily patinated white.
The tool measures 36.4mm long, 10.7mm wide and 4.1mm thick. The weight is 1.51g. | Subjects: | Flint microlith | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
