Description: | Thirty-Two fragments of primary flint waste as well as natural flint and chert pebbles. The majority of this material has not been worked and which has has been produced in the primary phase of working. The majority of this material is river washed or beach pebble. Although no real artefacts are present ?? this collection of natural unworked flint comes from the discreet flint scatter discussed in other records from the same area. The collection of this material with artefacts from the later Mesolithic and the Early Neolithic might hint at the source of flint being used. Flint is not naturally found in Shropshire and the major sources are riverine and glacial.
Combined weight: 297.67 grams. | Subjects: | Primary | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
