A Prehistoric flint fragment of a hammer-stone probably dating 3,500-800BC. There is a lot of damage to this fragment which obscures the detail but there is evidence where this fragment has been used as a hammer-stone to exert blows on another material.<\/p>\n
Dimensions: length: 62.17mm; width: 28.23mm; thickness: 25.34mm; weight: 52.44g.<\/p>\n
Notes: Jon Cotton notes that this assemblage of flint is not from one episode of activity within one period, rather it is part of the \u2018background noise\u2019 of typical material that would be widely found on floodplain areas. Similar assemblages are known in Richmond Park, the foreshore at Kew and Barnes.<\/p>\n
Identification by Jon Cotton, Senior Prehistoric Curator Museum of London.
