Description: | A waste flake Mesolithic to Neolithic period (circa 8300 ? 2100 BC).
The bulb of percussion and striking platform both survive on the ventral surface. Ripples of percussion are also still evident.
Numerous blade flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface before this flake itself was removed. There is some evidence of platform preparation on the dorsal surface. 5% of the dorsal surface is still coated in the natural cortex. The flake terminates with a hinge fracture. | 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
