Description: | Knapped flint flake with extensive retouch, probably Neolithic to Bronze Age in date. The flake has been badly chipped and weathered after knapping obscuring many details. There are clear ripples on the ventral face but the bulb of percussion is missing to a large chip. There is further chipping and probably some deliberate long, shallow scalar retouch around the edges. The dorsal face is domed with no clear arises from previous flake removals but evidence of multiple smaller removals and chips around the edge and shallow invasive retouch across the centre. If there was a retouched cutting or scraper edge this is now lost. The flint is entirely covered in a white patina with areas of orange staining and the original colour of the flint is unclear. 36.9mm long by 40.7mm wide by 11.6mm thick, 17.55 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
