Description: | Five distal ends of secondary and tertiary blades or bladelets in knapped flint. Four have straight snaps at the proximal end with small impact fractures suggesting where they were hit to cause the snap. None have evidence of deliberate notching to one side of the snap suggesting it may be accidental. The last has a more irregular break and is almost certainly accidental. Two have small areas of cortex (less than 5% coverage) on the distal end of the dorsal face. 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. The form of the cortex suggests they are pebble flint. Three are mid grey with paler mottling and two pale gray to pale grey-buff. They weigh 7.24 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 |
