Description: | A complete knapped flint flake, dating to the Neolithic period between c. 4000 ? c. 2200 BC (length: 22mm; width: 20mm; thickness: 4mm; weight: 1.22g). There is a small striking platform at the top of the ventral (lower face) side of the flake, with a bulb of percussion, small eraillure scar and further radial scars below. Additionally, there are faint curved ripples or ?lunettes? running down the ventral side. On the dorsal (upper face) side there is another eraillure scar, possibly indicating that the flake may have been struck twice ? once on either side. There are no arrises on the dorsal side. There are very small knapping/ worked areas around the outside edge of the flake, but they do not appear to be of a practical use. | 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: | -4000
