Title
Neolithic: Fabricator
Description
English: A fabricator of uncertain date but most probably from the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. The fabricator is formed on a triangular sectioned rod of knapped flint - which has possibly been reused as a pot boiler as the surface is a mid-grey colour with areas of cracking due to heat. The ventral face shows clear conchoidal ripples and a small striking platform is present on the distal terminal of the ventral face. Both long edges of the dorsal face have been retouched and both exhibit significant ground pressure damage on the cutting edge from use.

Dr Kevin Leahy states 'fabricators are difficult to date and a wide range must be suggested.' Therefore, a date of Early Mesolithic to late Bronze Age 10000 BC to 800 BC. From the assemblage this is from it is likely to be fashioned in the later Neolithic period.

The flake measures: 43.6mm length, 21.8mm wide, is 14.2mm high and weighs 11.54 grams
