Description: | Flint 'backed / blunted' microlith, formed from a snapped blade of probable Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The microlith is formed from a section of blade which has been snapped obliquely to form a point. It is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The upper left hand edge and oblique point has been reworked with regular evenly spaced flakes. It is likely that this microlith would have been set with several others into a tool, such as a harpoon, or multiple toothed blade. The flint is a light grey white colour.The microlith measures 18.7mm in length, 6.7mm width, is 3.6mm thick and weighs 0.36 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
