Description: | Black flint with dull grey band (though this perhaps arises from impact), from an irregular nodule with light external patination. Probably good quality flint, as from the East Coast or redeposited in glacial drift.Possible Core. Irregular struck flint, with apparently controlled hard hammer flake removal scars on four faces. Further conchoidal fractures appear to be of very recent date, and a superficial appearance of retouch along edges probably also arises from fortuitous recent damage. The collection of this material, and the recognition of its potential for tool making, is probably as significant as the questionable evidence for working.Suggested date: Possibly Neolithic to Bronze Age, 3500-1500 BC.Length: 64.9mm, Width: 46.5mm, Thickness: 34.2mm, Weight: 72.35gms. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
