Description: | Knapped flint flake with a notch. The flake is a sub-rectangle in plan. The dorsal surface has vertical slender negative scars. Along a lateral edge re-touch has occurred on the dorsal surface forming a notch. The ventral surface has ripples from striking, and a bulbar scar. The flint is an opaque mid brown colour. The flake measures 37.4mm long and 16.89mm wide. It weighs 2.8g. Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus p. 54) comments that notched pieces are found throughout history, but are not a common tool. This flake probably dates to the Neolithic to early Bronze Age period (-3500 to -1500). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
