Description: | Small flint flake, possibly the start of blade. Probably dating to the Neolithic- Bronze Age period.
The flint is a grey colour with some red staining on the back, from the soil it was in. It is an irregular shape in plan. The base is flat with a bulb of percussion visible. The reverse (with the staining) shows the conchoidal ripples. On the front there is a ridge just off centre. The edges of the flint are uneven and there are some signs of working. The flint ends in a point
Individual flint flakes are hard to date precisely on their own, out of context unless they are a tool which is very specific to a certain period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
