Record ID: NLM-AA8C74
Object type: BACKED BLADE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Brown flint with re-formed cortex, probable backed blade. Thick comma-shaped flake with broad flakes removed overall by multangular hard hammer strike. A slightly concave side bears short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect to form a cutting edge; this might alternatively be viewed as a hollow scraper. The lack of subsequent patina may hint it was subsequently incorporated into a sealed context. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 43.4mm, Width: 24.3mm, Thickness: 14.6mm, Weight: 14.73gms

This occurred when the flint was used as an earlier tool. The left margin forms the distal end of the old tool. It has subsequently been retouched along the steep fa…
