Description: | An assemblage of 17 flint blades, probably ranging in date from late Palaeolithic to late Mesolithic. The wider blades probably date from the early Mesolithic period. They generally have two downwards angled vertical faces, which sit one either side of a flat central face. Some show evidence of re-touching or wear and most are fairly heavily patinated. One of the blades (bottom right in the photo) has a very wide central face and could date from the very late Palaeolithic period. The remainder of the blades are narrow and have a triangular section (ie. they have no flat face on top). These blades are probably late Mesolithic in date. The assemblage weighs 38.38g in total. | 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
