Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An edge trimmed flake, mottled grey in colour, which has been bi-facially retouched and expediently made. The left margin and distal end of the dorsal face exhibit discontinuous retouch with a low angle and is of edge extent. The same retouch is evident on the ventral face resulting in improved serration function. Extensive cortex cover of the right margin of the dorsal face allows for comfortable handling. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on p131, Fig 57, L110 which dates to the Neolithic.
