Title
798 Thirty five Prehistoric Fire damaged flints.JPG
Description
English: 32 Fire damaged flint, average size length 27mm, width 27mm, thickness 18mm. These flints have been is a very high and long sustained heat. The high heat has resulted in cracking throughout the flint leaving the artefacts with a marble looking surface.

These artefacts date from the Palaeolithic through to the Late Iron Age.
