Record ID: LEIC-FACC83
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published
3 Mesolithic flint implements.
All mid and light greyish-blue opaque patina.
Let to right, top to bottom:
A1 Secondary blade, broken on distal end,
A2 Point. Abruptly retouched to shape the base for hafting. Back is fully cortical. The step -fractured dorsal removal no doubt assisted hafting.
B1 Opposed-platform core. Cortical back. Bladelet removals from one direction only. No bladelet removals emanate from the opposed platform.
