Description: | A crude, irregular and partly patinated or stained flint implement or core of uncertain form. It is roughly plano-convex in form with the upper surface retaining approximately 85-90% cortex. Several large flakes have been removed from both faces to form an irregular and crude edge at one end. It may perhaps have served as a simple crude core or core tool. The object measures 100.92mm in length, 58.24mm in width, 29.54mm in thickness, and weighs 179.14g. The precise date of this object remains uncertain as does its usage. The staining/patination may indicate a date as early as the Palaeolithic and some of the flake scars are abraded or rolled although this may be as a result of agricultural rather than glacial activity. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
