Description: | Three unpatinated flint flakes struck from a dark grey/brown flint. They have a combined total weight of 26.55g and are of later Prehistoric date, c.2550-1 BC. 1) A squat flake with small striking platform and prominent bulb of percussion. Cortex remains along one edge of the dorsal face. It measures 22.32mm in length, 25.22mm in width, 8.62mm in thickness, and 10.13g in weight.2) A short flake with small striking platform that retains its cortex, and a prominent bulb of percussion. One edge has possible crude short, parallel, and semi-abrupt retouch, but this is probably the result of post-depositional damage rather than deliberate reworking. It measures 29.04mm in length, 22.24mm in width, 5.56mm in thickness, and 3.24g in weight. 3) A short flake with prominent striking platform that has at least two insipient cones of percussion, and prominent bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has parallel flake scars, and both edges and the distal end have limited short, parrallel, and semi-abrupt retouch. It measures 38.80mm in length, 31.32mm in width, 13.37mm in thickness, and 13.18g in weight. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
