Description: | A re-touched flint flake of probable early Neolithic date. An irregularly-shaped tool which appears to have been made fairly quickly. A small portion of the core platform exists and the reverse shows a clear bulb of percussion and rippling. The original cortex remains over approximately one third of the upper surface. The object has not been shaped apart from by a single row of re-touching along the exposed vertical side and along the wide horizontal bottom edge. The flint is dark grey in colour. The implement measures 35.4mm wide by 29.7mm high and 16.7mm thick. It weighs 17.85g. | 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
