Description: | Eight central sections of tertiary blades or bladelets in knapped flint. Four have neat snaps at both ends, three have snaps at the distal end and more irregular breaks at the proximal end and one has irregular breaks at both ends. All have parallel or semi-parallel arises on the dorsal face running down the length suggesting there were previous parallel removals from the same platform. One of the pieces with neat snaps at both ends has clear evidence of retouched notches in the edge with the breaks started as notches and then snapped across the narrowed point. Two are opaque dark grey, two mid grey and one pale grey. Three are translucent grey-buff, two pale, one dark. They weigh 10.83 grams in total. The presence of many blades and snapped blade sections suggests a possibly Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
