Description: | Uncertain lithic implement, probably of Mesolithic or Neolithic date. The artefact has been knapped from dark grey flint, and has been retouched with semi-abrupt removals. The flint has snapped, removing the distal end. It is possibly a fragment of a blade, however there are no dorsal blade scars, thus it is unlikely to have been removed from a prepared blade core. The form of the implement resembles a scraper, however the size of the artefact makes this unlikely. The fragment is 10.86mm long, 10.15mm across at the widest point, has a maximum thickness of 3.03mm and weighs 0.42 grams. | 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: | -8300
