Description: | Black Pennines chert blade possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic 6500-2900 BC. The chert is a dull black in colour with traces of the original white banding. The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are known sources of black chert in the South Pennines and this may well be naturally occurring around Boulsworth Hill and Thursden Valley. The length is 55mm, width 30mm, thickness 20mm, and mass 24.8g.
