Description: | A flint knife of Neolithic date. The implement has been formed from the 'platform' end of the core. It is an elongated ovate in shape and has a domed section. On the lower face there is a bulb scar and rippling visible. The upper face retains two thirds of its original cortex. It has been significantly re-touched along one of its long sides to form a cutting edge. It measures 63.47mm long by 26.01mm wide and 8.62mm thick. It weighs 18.76g. The surface of the flint is a blueish-grey colour due to weathering. | 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 | Temporal: | -3500
