Description: | One short knapped flint secondary blade. The piece has been struck of a prepared platform. It has a prominent bulb on the ventral face with a large bulb scar. There are multiple parallel arises running down the length on the dorsal face and the direction of the ripples suggest previous blade like removals were made off the same platform. The dorsal face is covered with c. 40% cortex down the right edge and distal end. There are several areas of chipping down the opposite edge on both faces, this appears to be accidental damage rather than retouch although some areas, such as that at the distal end, are neater. It is made from dark grey flint,. 33.3mm long, 22.5mm wide and 6.5mm thick; it weighs 5.45 grams. Individual pieces are hard to date precisely and flint from this area ranges from Mesolithic - early Bronze Age but this is possibly Neolithic in date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
