Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
For this locality an interesting flake as it has beem harvested from an old land surface overlying or close to flint bearing chalk.Both the ventral and dorsal surfaces are naturally thermal fractured with the rest of the dorsal surface nodular cortex. The edge where the natural scars meet has been serrated with semi-abrupt retouch through the partial blue/cream patina to reveal the underlying dark grey flint. Butler(2005) illustrates a notched flake on page 186, fig 76, 6.
