Description: | Multifunctional flint tool, probably dating to the Neolithic period. The tool is roughly rectangular in plan with three finely worked scraping edges. There is a double ventral ridge on the lower surface (this is the surface with the bulb of percussion). On the dorsal surface, there is working along the right edge to form a denticulated knife. At the top corner of the tool there is a slightly protruding point which may have been used as a graver. The tool weighs 12.22g and measures 37.39mm in length, 26.7mm in width and 7.98mm in thickness. | 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: | -3500
