Description: | Later Upper Palaeolithic flake (15,000-8,300 BC). The flake surface shows evidence cortex reforming giving an indication of the age of the flake, it is also patinated from light grey to white reflecting the deposition chalk downland.
On the dorsal surface (upper face) there are signs of platform preparation and arrises from the removal of other flakes from the same core. There is also some natural cortex along the right edge and at the distal end (tip) of the dorsal surface. The bulb of percussion and bulb scars can be seen on the ventral surface (lower face). Weight: 5.97g, Length: 40.75mm, Width: 24.16mm, Thickness: 5.78mm. These flints form part of a large collection of lithic implements and associated waste flakes from several concentrations on the Seven Sisters; see SUSS-80DBC3. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
