DEBITAGE

Unique ID: NLM-CCEDC4

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Flint, two with cortex spots, possible debitage. Nine fragments of struck flint, including translucent chips from good quality material. These will in most cases have been generated by hard hammer working, producing prominent bulbar features, though some examples of scalar surface marking suggestive of angled retouch or of pressure flaking may be present. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.

Combined Weight: 19.49gms.
