Description: | A complete knapped flint blade, dating from the late Mesolithic ? early Neolithic period, between c. 6500 ? 2900 BC (length: 27.5mm; width: 16mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 1.4g). On the ventral side of the artefact, there is a bulb of percussion with two eraillure scars and multiple radiating ripples or ?lunettes? below and running down the length of the flake towards the distal end. On the dorsal side, there are three main arrises, but there is no retouch along the edges. A blade, according to Bond, C, J, 2004 ?Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics, Version 1?, page 203, is a proportionally narrow, parallel-sided flake, with parallel arrises on the dorsal face. | 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
