Record ID: HAMP-1CD500
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small tertiary waste flake: probable debitage of Mesolithic or later date. The flake is broadly semicircular in plan and a shallow U shape in profile. There is cortex along the struck end. The ventral face is curved and smooth with evident ridges down its length and a high bulb. The dorsal face is broadly flattened as a result of two main removals, with some minor removals at the sides probably the result of post-depositional damage. The piece is thin enough to be translucent with some impurities in the flint giving it a light-brown colour.
