It is sub-oval in plan, having a deliberately flattened bottom edge. There is a limited amount of re-touching to the rounded top edge and parallel long sides. The convex upper surface of the tool is also roughly worked, with three or four uneven flake removal scars and a portion of the original flint cortex remaining. There is no reworking on the reverse, where, at the top, there is a small section of the core platform above a bulb-of-percussion. The flint is white to light grey in colour.The tool measures 61.6mm long, 41.6mm wide and 18.7mm thick. The weight is 51.72g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
