Description: | Flint side scraper or knife, using a secondary flake, probably of Neolithic date. The object is leaf shaped, or sub-triangular in form with a vertical ridge running down the centre of the dorsal face. The proximal end has been rounded using rough retouch. Further long, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch can be seen along the extent of the curved right side of the dorsal face. The ventral face has a diffuse bulb of purcussion, although much of this has been removed during the retouch to the proximal end. The flint is light grey in colour, with frequent small patches of cortex remaining. Use of such poor quality flint suggests that the material must have been difficult to obtain.Length: 59.44mm, Width: 36.42mm, Thickness: 14.68mm Weight: 30.73g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
