Description: | An assemblage of four flint flakes of probable late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. All of the flakes have portions of a core striking platform at the top, with a bulb of percussion and rippling on the reverse. The smallest flake measures 22mm long by 27.2mm wide, while the largest is 48.6mm long by 26.9mm wide and 7.5mm thick. This latter flake also appears to show some degree of re-working in the form of a worked notch at the top of one of the vertical sides. It is this feature which provides the suggested date for the assemblage. The flints are whiteish-grey to mid grey in colour and are heavily weathered. The total weight of the assemblage is 41.61g. | 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: | -6500
