Description: | Complete flint pick of Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date (7000 BC ? 3000 BC). Length 176mm, width 70mm and 51mm thick. Weight 674g. The implement has three faces and is sub-triangular in cross-section. When viewed from the side it is ?hump-backed? and has a sinuous profile. The removals cover the whole of the surface except for a small area of cortex on the butt. The cutting edge has been formed by the removal of a tranchet flake on the lower side of one of the faces. It has a creamy/grey patina and is in good condition. | 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: | -7000
