A re-used lithic implement of Upper Palaolithic or later date |
||
| Description |
English: A patinated and re-used lithic implement of Upper Palaolithic or later date. One face has a patination that is dark red to orange/brown in colour with extensive flake removal. At a later date the object appears to have been re-used resulting in the opposite face being removed and revealing the unpatinated dark grey flint at the core of the object, with relatively neat edge retouch along one side and some possibly flake removal at one end (distal end?). The entire object measures 119.85mm in length, 93.68mm in width, 30.31mm in thickness and 406g in weight.
The patination on the original flint flake suggests a date range in the Upper Palaeolithic (c.40,000-10,000 BC). The subsequent edge retouch and removal of one face to reveal an unpatinated surface is indicative of later re-use, probably in the later Prehistoric period (c.4000-800 BC), although precisely when this may have been remains uncertain. |
