Record ID: HESH-9861C6
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Four blades of varying lengths and thicknesses of later Mesolithic date (4000 -3000 BC). The sections of the blades vary, some are triangular (crested) whilst others are flatter lentoid shaped. All have multiple linear facets on the dorsal faces and conchoidal fractures on the ventral. Some are snapped, others still possess their bulbs of percussion / striking platforms. The majority of the flakes are plough rolled and have thick white surface patinas. Some of the long edges have had limited retouch applied using direct percussion. One (the largest) has more extensive retouch along on…

Record ID: HESH-97AA41
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Eight pieces of tertiary debitage, waste, from the third / final phase of tool making. Several of the flakes have minimal or no cortex present on their outer surfaces. All of the flakes have multiple flake scars on their dorsal faces and conchoidal ripples on the ventral. None have been reworked / retouched. From the style of flaking a late Mesolithic or Neolithic date is suggested. Bulk weight: 44.53 grams

Ten pieces of secondary debitage, waste, from the second phase of tool making. All have between 10 % and 50% cortex present on their outer surfaces. Most of these pieces have been knapped with multiple flake scars on their dorsal faces and conchoidal ripples on the ventral. From the style of flaking both Mesolithic and Neolithic material is represented in the waste. Bulk weight: 49.47 grams

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Four pieces of primary debitage, waste, from the first phase of tool making. All have at least 50% cortex present on their outer surfaces. These four pieces may well be naturally produced but in conjunction with other material recorded from this site are likely to be from the first phase of tool production / knapping. Bulk weight: 32.97 grams

Two pieces of tertiary debitage, waste, from the third / final phase of tool making. None of the flakes have cortex present on their outer surfaces. These two pieces have been knapped from poor quality flint / chert they have multiple flake scars on their dorsal faces and conchoidal ripples on the ventral. None have been reworked / retouched. From the style of flaking a late Mesolithic date is suggested. The larger of the two may be a core fragment as it has parallel multiple flake facets. Bulk weight: 7.67 grams
