Description: | A knapped secondary flint flake, probably dating to the Neolithic period between 4000-2200 BC (length: 64mm; width: 33.2mm; thickness: 1.2mm; weight: 19.87g), due to the cortex remaining along the left of the dorsal side. Of a dark brown colour, the flake appears to have been hit twice. The ventral side has three eraillure scars on the bulb of percussion underneath the one remaining striking platform. Additionally, there are multiple radial scars appearing halfway down the length of the flake, as well as faint ripples or ?lunettes? on the surface. The slightly worked edge on the ventral side is badly knocked as does not appear to be re-touch. | 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
