Is This Anything?

<< < (2/2)

JackCrafty:
Yep, it looks like it was intentionally chipped.  If it were me, I would keep digging for more...   :)

iowabow:
when I look at it  I think....ready made, as in made on the spot or this will do in a pinch.

Zuma:
For what it is worth.
That chunk of chert sure looks like a core.
More interesting is the honey color.
From what little I know about English flint--
that chunk looks like it comes from the other side of the Channel.
If so it was imported with a purpose.
More Danish??
Good on Mrs Cat Eyes.

mullet:
I agree with everybody else, looks worked and probably discarded when they couldn't get a flake to travel over the top and knock that ridge off.
Don, the Danish flint I have is dark gray with concrete inclusions.

Zuma:
Ed, no doubt there is French and Danish gray/black flints.
I do know there is honey colored flint on the mainland.
If there is native honey or the color in Del's photos in the
 London area I just haven't been privy to the fact.
It would be cool to know for sure. I don't have to be
gentle with you, just Del and the Mrs. LOL >:D
Sorry I have missed you all this spring.
