Neither have the bulb of percussion on the ventral and the large example has been damaged by frost. On the dorsal both have the remains of the cortex on the surface. Both had a retouched blade running down one side, the smaller example has a concave blade on the right side, while the larger one has a convex blade on the left side, both terminate at a point at the top.
The larger artefact has a mid bluish grey patina with a creamy cortex, the flint is heavily damaged with cracking throughout, due to frost damage. The smaller example has a light bluish creamy patina with a dark brown cortex, blue surface where it has been chipped. | 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 |
