A fragment of a cream flint mace-head. Most of the shape can be inferred from the remaining exterior surface except for the exact shape of the butt and hence length, but it seems to be egg shaped in plan and of the 'ovoid A' type(Roe,F.1968). The top and bottom surfaces are flat and parallel with all but the last traces of flake scars (2 visible) ground out. It is generally considered that perforated flint mace-heads due to the exceptional hardness and fragility are unsuitable for perforating. Fortunately flint nodules are often naturally perforated and it is then a matter of widening…
