LITHIC IMPLEMENT

Unique ID: SF-475E84

Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow status: Published

A flint single edged biface which is relatively crude. Although there is no obvious staining or patination, this flint could possibly be a Palaeolithic chopper-like tool. It is sub rectangular in form, has three sides of cortex, two-thirds of one face are also cortex and the final face is mainly a large pot-lid fracture.
