Description: | A re-touched flint flake implement of possible early Neolithic date.
The tool has been made from a broad, roughly trapezoidal flake from the outer portion of a flint nodule. The bulb of percussion is visible on the reverse at the short, horizontal top edge. There is some re-touching of the top edge and at various points along the three other edges. It is likely that the piece would have acted as a scraping tool.
The flint is light greyish-brown and retains much of the cortex on the upper side.
The implement measures 39.3mm high, by up to 29.5mm wide and 7.8mm thick; the weight is 9.66g. | 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: | -3500
