Both have long thin flaking scars that run down the length of the artefact, wider at the top where there are a number of striking platforms. The larger example is in a poor condition having suffered form the effects of frost damage and weathering. The smaller example id in good condition with the percussion ripples clear in the flaking scars.
The larger example has an off white patina with flacks of orange the smaller example has a mid grey patina which lightens towards the top, where there is the remains of a creamy white cortex, very occasional orange flack on the ridges of the flaking scars. | 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 |
