Description: | A small flint blade of later Mesolithic date (4000 -3000 BC). The blade is rectangular in plan and has a crested cross section. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are present on the ventral face although damaged by plough-roll. The long edges have not been reworked although movement in the plough surface suggests abrupt retouch is present. The flint is relatively coarse and a mid grey colour with small areas of translucent milky grey white coloured patina.The blade measures 28.5mm in length, 12.8mm width, is 4.9mm thick and weighs 1.61 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
