Object type: BACKED BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Grey flint with fine grey ‘cortex’, possibly collected from the East Coast, possible backed blade. Trapezoid flake with a negative pot-lid frost fracture and a smooth convex surface on its ventral side; hard hammer strike has trimmed one side to produce a flat back; the cutting edge is indicated by very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect, following one long edge. The ventral surface has also been trimmed with the removal of broad thin flakes, and is polished by subsequent wear. This might alternatively be viewed as a reworked fragment from a discoid or plano-conv…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Translucent brown flint, possibly collected from the East Coast, knife. Sub-triangular thin flake with a bulb at the narrower end of its ventral surface; broad flakes are removed from the dorsal side by hard hammer strike.
