Lithic implement | BH-6A4391 |
Mesolithic | Hertfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A flint blade core, probably dating from the Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic periods. The core has a hexagonal platform at the top. The majority of the narrow blade scars extend vertically downwards, the only exception being at the base, where a single scar cuts across at a right-angle, creati... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-E859A8 |
Mesolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| Part of a flint blade core of probable Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date. The reverse of the core indicates that the remainder has probably been lost due to frost shattering. The original surface retains portions of seven vertical scars which testify to the removal of small bladelets. The s... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-5BA203 |
Mesolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| An incomplete flint blade of probable Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date. The remaining portion of the blade is roughly parallel-sided, the exception being at one point, where a concave scraping edge has been created through the use of invasive retouch. On the dorsal surface, several angled ... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-60D074 |
Mesolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A flint microlith of Mesolithic date. The piece is incomplete, the angled bottom edge broken to reveal an unpatinated, and therefore relatively modern, break. The top point has also been lost relatively recently. The remaining tool has sides which converge towards the top and has a central arr... | |||||
