Description: | Flint graver or a denticulate on a thick flake, crescentic in plan, semi-circular in profile and triangular in section. The left lateral margin of the dorsal face has been retouched to form a curved edge, perhaps for use as a graving tool. The distal end has also been worked into a point that may have been used to perforate.
The flint is a translucent but mottled light to dark grey and the length to breadth ratio is about 2:1.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar thick denticulate on page 61, Fig.5.38, No.L99, and on page 143, Fig.5.129, No.F157, which is dated to the Later Neolithic. | 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: | -2900
