Description: | Number 5 on the attached photographs.
A waste flake, which itself has had multiple bladelets removed from its surface. One end of the flake looks as though it may have been knapped (through secondary working) into a rough burin shape. The clean notch was possibly used for removing bark or straightening arrow shafts.
Mesolithic (circa 8300 - 3500 BC).
The flake weighs 7.11g.
Some of the natural cortex survives on the dorsal surface of the flint. | 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
