Description: | The broken remains of a probable blade (15.8mm x 13.9mm; thickness: 3.1mm; weight: 0.77g). On the ventral side, there are faint traces of the ripples or ?lunettes? illustrating the pressure of impact, as well as other scars or scratch marks which run in the opposite direction. These marks may have been caused by recent damage while deposited in the ground. Addtitionally, there is a small area of re-touch along one end. On the dorsal side, however, the flint has been knapped more than once (with one main arrise) with small areas of re-touch along the surface edges. The re-touch is heavily concentrated in one area where the artefact slopes acutely down to form a sharp edge. This artefact dates to the Neolithic period between 4000-2200 BC. | 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: | -4000
