Description: | Complete, but unfinished prehistoric lithic implement. This implement is subtriangular in plan. The bulb of percussion is not visible, but striking ?waves? are clear. The implement is bevelled on the dorsal face and flat on the ventrical. Both misal edges are retouched. At the broad end of the object, on the ventral face, are signs of pressure flaking, which suggests the flint was being worked into another object, such as an arrowhead, but was ultimately abandoned. The flint is light brown in colour with white and dark brown patches. It is 45.28mm long, 19.58mm wide, 8.04mm thick and weighs 6.79g in weight. It is Mesolithic to Bronze Age in date. | 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: | -10000
