Description: | Flint knife, probably dating to ??. The knife is roughly oval in shape and has broken into two pieces (although these clearly match up). There is also a possible break at one end with a section of the knife missing. The knife may have been burnt. The lower face of the tool is smooth and has no working on the edges. The upper face has one curved edge with retouch to create a sharp cutting edge with tiny denticulations. About two thirds of this surface are covered in cortex from the outside of the nodule, indicating that this tool was produced from a primary flake. The knife measures 43.1mm in length, 20.06mm in width and 4.46mm in thickness. It weighs 3.92g. | 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 | Creator: | Anna Marshall | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
