Description: | Worked flint, dating to the Neolithic period. A flint tranchet adze. The implement measures 118mm in length, 45mm in breadth, is 25mm thick and weights 182.7g. It comprises a small slender adze of cherty flint stained a glossy black, with a re-sharpened, tranchet, cutting ege; a large thinning flake has also been removed from one edge on the flatter ventral face (right). Judging from the surface encrustation, the dorsal face (left) has been lying uppermost on the foreshore. | 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 |
