Description: | A knapped secondary flint flake. The flake has a mottled whie/blue patina on the majority of its surface. However on both surfaces there is a distinctive line where the colour of the patina changes to a dark blue/grey colour. Around the edges of the flake there is recentl abrasion which reveals a grey/brown coloured flint. The dorsal surface has small vertical scars, whereas the ventral surface has a small bulb of percussion and concentric rings. The flake weighs 1.2g.
The flake is prehistoric, probably dating to the Mesolithic period (-8300 to -4500) when considering the size of the scars on the dorsal surface. | 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
