Description: | Lithic waste flake probably of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date due to the quantity of blades and blade cores present at the same find spot. Previous flakes have been removed from the surface of the flint. There is a blub of percussion and impact ripples on the surface as well as some flaking scars. A small amount of cortex covers 2-5% of the surface of this mid grey flint. The flint is unpatinated but has some post-depositional damage due to agricultural activity (chipped edges), especially on the proximal end. The flake dimensions are 49.53mm long, 36.46mm wide, 13.76mm thick and it weighs 25.92 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: | -6500
