Description: | NMGWPA 2002.92.1 (EF2272) ? Flint pebble with central void. A cortical flint pebble of interesting form. The central hole, while appearing man made has a natural cortical skin, suggesting it is a geological phenomenon. The ?point? of the object exhibits a number of impact fractures, but there is no evidence of systematic working, ruling out the object as a Prehistoric tool (awl or knife). The flint shows evidence of water rolling.
The object was found in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, and was likely to have been picked up on or near the coast. There are concentrations of beach pebble flint around the coastal region of Llanelli, with particular concentrations at Burry Port. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
