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.
