Object type: BURIN
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint burin probably from the Mesolithic period (8300 - 3500 BC). It is formed on a secondary flake which is sub rectangular in plan and has cortex on most of the dorsal face. A long removal from the left side and a small area of retouch round the distal left corner formed the burin point. The flint is tan coloured and is not patinated.

A pyramidal shaped core dating to the Mesolithic period (6500 - 3500 BC). The core is triangular in profile and irregular in plan. A distinct knapping platform is present on the upper edge of the core with areas of multiple blade removals in a single direction around the edge. The small size of this core suggests that it was discarded as waste. There are areas of hinge fracturing near the base. The flint is a light grey colour. The core measures 25.4mm in length, 22.2mm width, is 20.6mm thick and weighs 14.63 grams.

Two irregular fragments of a core dating to the Mesolithic period (6500 - 3500 BC). The fragments are broadly rectangular in plan , profile and irregular rectangular sections. Around the edge of the core fragments are areas showing multiple blade removals in several le different directions. On the ventral faces clear platforms of percussion and conchoidal ripples are present. The flint varies in colour being grey in one example and a milky white coloured patina in the other. The core fragments have a bulk weight of 3.57 grams.

Flint 'backed / blunted' microlith, formed from a snapped blade of probable Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The microlith is formed from a section of blade which has been snapped obliquely to form a point. It is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The upper left hand edge and oblique point has been reworked with regular evenly spaced flakes. It is likely that this microlith would have been set with several others into a tool, such as a harpoon, or multiple toothed blade. The flint is a light grey white colour. The microlith measures 18.7mm in length, 6.7mm …

Three blades of tertiary debitage (from the third / final phase of tool making) of Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The three blades are all struck on poor quality flint cores which vary in coarseness and colour, all being glacial or riverine derived, some possibly being chert rather than flint. All of the blades are irregular and have not been reworked / retouched. I have described these blade fragments as debitage as I believe that they were knapped to prepare the core for larger blades. The dorsal faces of some of the flakes show ridges and flake scars, the reverse faces show concho…

Three small incomplete snapped flint blades or bladlets of later Mesolithic date (6000BC - 3500BC). These are both struck from cores and have the generic crested appearance. All have been snapped and none show signs of retouch on their tips or long edges. The underside of each shows conchoidal rippling. One blade (2) has a complete bulb of percussion and the striking platform is present. The flint is a variety of colours ranges from white grey to brown. All is low grade with significant areas of inclusion; this type of flint is likely to have been procured from glacial and riverine s…

An irregular fragment of a core dating to the Mesolithic period (6500 - 3500 BC); from the irregular shape and the fact the core has been worked in several directions it is possible that this may be a form of core-rejuvenation flake. The flake is broadly rectangular in plan with a curved profile and irregular rectangular section. Around the edge of the core fragment are areas showing multiple blade removals in at least two different directions. On the ventral face a clear platform of percussion and conchoidal ripples are present. The flint is a dark brown grey colour with few flaws …

White patinated flint probable burin or borer. Tiny thin elongated concavo-convex curving flake with four long flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect, all converging towards a curved end, and a curving concave face where subsequently struck from the core by fine hard hammer working. The curved end preserves a faint bulb of percussion, suggesting this object was detached from the core by impact at this end after the other working had taken place. The other end was broken in antiquity, though not necessarily at the time of original working -unsurprising given the delicate nature of th…

Incomplete snapped flint blade of probable later Mesolithic date (6000BC - 3500BC). The flint tool, probably best described as a crested blade or knife, is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and has a sub-triangular in cross section. The bulb of percussion is not present, the top of the blade has been trimmed and thinned, however conchoidal fractures are present on the lower (ventral) face. The upper (dorsal) face of the blade has a number of clear facets and ridges. The long edges and ends have all been heavily retouched, especially the edges. The retouch on the left hand edge is most …

Two small incomplete snapped flint blades or bladlets of later Mesolithic date (6000BC - 3500BC). These are both struck from a core and have the generic crested appearance. Both have been snapped and neither show signs of retouch on their tips or long edges. The underside of each shows conchoidal rippling but not evidence of bulb of percussion or striking platforms. One flake (the darker of the two) has a small area of cortex present. The flint is a mid mottled grey colour. The source of flint is difficult to ascertain; much of the local flint is procured from glacial and riverine sou…

County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An irregular fragment from a core which has been worked in several directions to produce small blades or microliths of late Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The core is probably derived from a riverine pebble and a small area of outer cortex (10%) is present on one face. The fragment is heavily worn and the remains of at least one striking platform is present from which blades have been removed. There is no evidence of rejuvenation flakes or multi platform working. The core is a mid- grey colour with a slightly milky white coloured patina. The core measures 26.0mm length, 23.9mm wid…
