The tool has a triangular section, with two sides being wider than the third. All three sides have been heavily knapped and well finished. One terminal is slightly broken. The opposite terminal has been polished and ground possibly as a result of being used as a chisel or similar tool. This polishing gives the terminal, on the narrow side of the tool, a very smoth and rounded appearance. This wear pattern can also be seen on the surface opposite. The basalt has a dark greyish-black surface colour.


This tool and its material are both very unusual for the British Isle, but Basalt is found in the British Isle, so it could be a native tool. However, it is also possibly that the tool was brought over some time ago from the Americas and lost in a rural context. If this is a native tool it may date to the mesolithic to neolithic period.","","","2010-10-19 14:51:40","2010-10-19 15:37:00","4","","","","","","","","1","","1","1","","","3","3","","law","Liz Andrews-Wilson","YORYM","law","Liz Andrews-Wilson","Stone","","","","Knapped/flaked","","Complete","","","MESOLITHIC","NEOLITHIC","","Other chance find","","Mrs Liz Andrews-Wilson","MR Stuart Ogilvy","Mrs Liz Andrews-Wilson","NORTH YORKSHIRE","","HAMBLETON","","","","","SE2688","SE28NE","","","","","","Aiskew","From Map","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","300937","JDS0023.jpg","images/law/",
