DEBITAGE

Unique ID: DUR-F7198D

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

A complete flint piece of debitage of probable Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Both surfaces contain multiple negative scars and corresponding arrises. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The surface of the flake is cracked possibly due to burning.

The flint is white in colour with grey inclusions throughout.

Length: 18.06mm, Width: 9.60mm, Thickness: 6.56mm, Weight: 0.9g.
