indy Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 In true Indy tradition I have gone out and found a great Flint implement TMM, as requested I have e-mailed you images of the find, possibly Neolithic but probably early Bronze age .... :angelwings: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Have e mailed you back ........ what makes you dismiss neolithic ? pity it's broken in half ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Don't dismiss Neolithic TMM, just that 70% of Warburton implements are EBA .... Regarding 's' shape bronze artefact it's now becoming clear that it is Viking .... Rare and a first for Lymm/Warburton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonymaillman Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 James - check your e mails as I'd like to make a replica of it (the bronze piece not the flint). Did you find just that one half of the flint scraper ? would be interesting to view the other half to see if that has any frosting also, nice example of 'pressure flaking' rather than 'strike flaking' [ 22.03.2008, 00:25: Message edited by: tonymailman ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike diameter is just 2mm. The copy looks good James albeit that the pictures you sent make it look longer than the measurements you gave in comparison to the width.
