Object type: DEBITAGE

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mid grey flint, with heavy white patina overall. Debitage fragment. Flake with two long and two short flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect. The finder kindly suggests a Late Mesolithic date. The patination over all worked surfaces argues this flake was exposed for a long period; both ends have been broken in antiquity. It was recovered along with four other flakes in similar condition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC. Length: 31.6mm, Width: 12.1mm, Thickness: 3.6mm, Weight: 1.54gms.
