Description: | A flint flake, retouched and utilised as a tool, probably a wedge for splitting wood. The flint has retouch around the entire perimiter and invasive retouch on the dorsal side. The ventral surface of the flake has some cortex remaining. Opposing edge damage is suggestive of the use of the flint as a wedge. The flint itself is of a grey to light brown colour. The tool was probably used during the later Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. | 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: | 3000
