content: Style: Spatulate Raw Material Source: Cannel Luster: Dull Broken: Yes Break Location: Proximal Element: Distal fragment Shape/Form: Spatulate Working Shape: Convex Alteration: Chemical Manufacturing Notes: sharply defined shoulders where bit expands. Similar shape to marble perforated spatulate celt, but smaller overall. Surface Modification: There are striations running longitudinal Residue: Jarosite (iron sulphate) from oxidation Comments: Quite a large fragment given the friability of this raw material, which flakes off in large sheets. Use signs will be hard to distinguish on the coal because the material's surface had altered and eroded.
