Description: | A possible knapped flint Neolithic blade or fabricator. The flint is a mottled red/brown colour. In plan the blade is an sub elongated pointed oval. The dorsal surface has two linear negative scars with run the length of the blade. Both terminals are slightly rounded, which appears to be due to wear. Both side edges have re-touch, however one edge also shows signs of more recent damage. The ventral surface also has re-touch and flaking which covers more of the surface, particularly at the terminals, compared to the dorsal surface. In section the blade is a sub-triangle. It measures 58.52mm long, 21.1mm wide, 7.15mm thick and weighs 9.01g.
The tool is possibly a blade or the wear pattern may suggest a type of fabricator. It is probably dated to the Neolithic period, 3500 and 2100 BC. | 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
