Description: | Mesolithic flake knapped from light orange-brown stone. The dorsal surface has a central arrise, which then formed into two parallel arrises where another flake has been removed from the surface. The edges are serrated with short, semi-abrupt removals. The distal end has been worked to a point, with abrupt removals on one side, and long removals on the other. The proximal end has a partial hinge fracture, possible where the proximal end of the flake has been used to create trapezoid microliths. There is no bulb of percussion on the ventral surface, however impact ripples extend down its length. There is slight retouch to the edges on this surface. The flake appears to have multiple functions. It is 45.51mm long, 16.16mm wide and 7.4mm thick. | 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: | -8500
