Description: | A plano-convex flint knife. Length 57mm. This leaf-shaped example is made on a flake of brown flint, the ventral face of which is unaltered, apart from some recent minor edge chips; the dorsal face is completely pressure flaked from both lateral edges, giving a fine fluted surface. All original surfaces are irregularly patinated buff. Plano-convex knives are characteristic tools of the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age (Beaker Period) 3000-1500 BC. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crawford, Becky | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
