Description: | A fragment of a flint blade of probable early Neolithic date.
The blade is parallel-sided, of thin section and has a rounded end. The dorsal surface bears several longitudinal arrises. On the ventral surface is a small bulb-of-percussion and rippling. The break is straight and the patination suggests it probably occurred in antiquity. The flint is a mottled and patinated light to mid blueish-grey colour.
The tool measures 14.6mm long, 10.6mm wide and 1.5mm thick. The weight is 0.29g. | Subjects: | Flint blade | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
