Description: | A possible knapped flint blade. The blade has been knapped from flint a mid beige flint which has since developed an off-white patina. In plan the blade is sub-rectangular, and is broken recently at the proximal terminal. The distal terminal, in profile curves from the ventral surface up to the dorsal surface. The dorsal surface has three vertical slender negative flake scars, therefore the blade is trapezoidal in section. The blade measures 20.94mm long, 8.19mm wide and 3.31mm thick. It weighs 0.7g.
The blade probably dates to the Mesolithic to Neolithic period, -8300 to ?2500. | 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
