Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete struck / knapped blade, formed from a tertiary debitage flake, of probable Neolithic dating (c. 4,000 BC to c. 2, 350 BC). The probable blade has a sub trapezoidal cross section, and is sub rectangular in shape. Retouch is present along the long edges and the short side (short, subparallel, abrupt). The probable blade has been made from a piece of tertiary debitage, probably the remains of a core for making blades. The flake has been made from a dark grey flint, with little surface patination. Length: 29.2 mm Width: 22.1 mm Thickness: 5.2&n…

The cross-section is D-shaped with a distinct point off-centre on the dorsal face, suggesting this object was a core with up to four flake removals surrounding. The left and right edges show potential abrupt retouch (as noted by the finder) suggesting subsequent use as a scraper. The object was struck from a secondary flint flake and the object is opaque grey with white patination. Cortex has been noted by the finder on the…
