Description: | Later Upper Palaeolithic secondary 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.
There is a prepared, but damaged, platform at the proximal end. On the dorsal surface (upper face) there are arrises from previous flake removals and evidence of platform preparation. There is a large area of original cortex at the distal end, visible on both sides. On the ventral surface (lower face) part of a bulb of percussion and bulb scars can be seen. Weight: 28.27g, Length: 78.08mm, Width: 40.95mm, Thickness: 12.94mm.
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 |
