Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An assemblage of thirty pieces of Mesolithic flint debitage, dating from c.8000-4001 BC and including one possible microlith. The assemblage consists largely of struck blades and some bladelets, presumably for the construction of microliths. There are a couple of debitage flakes, probably from core renewal or production of other tools. The single potential microlith is triangular in both plan and cross section and has scaled intrusive retouch along one face. The flint is milky white in colour. L.19.21mm, W. 6.99mm, T.5.21mm Wg.0.45g.

A multiplatform, mesolithic, flint, bladelet core, 8500-4300 BC. The core is a dark brown/black with multiple striking platforms. It is predominantly conical in shape with most blade flakes removed in this fashion. There are also flakes removed across the striking platform of the core from one end. The core retains some cortex over about 15% of the conical surface. Length: 37.33mm Width: 45.48mm Thickness: 30.67mm Weight: 63.77g

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint bladelet, dating to the period c.8500-4500 BC. The bladelet tapers sharply down from the striking platform. There is no retouch on the blade but there is a small notch midway down on the right-hand side of the dorsal face, which may suggest preparation for making a microlith.

A complete mesolithic flint adze head, 8300-4500BC. The object is a short tapering knapped flint piece, it has a lozenge shaped section that is most visible at the widest end. This end tapers sharply to a point formed by a tranchet strike that has been further shaped down. There is a longitudinal ridge running the length of both the borsal and ventral sides. The distal end of the object curves slightly giving the piece an asymetrical appearance. The object is made from a pale grey flint. The object appears to be complete but does not seem to be finished. Length: 133.15mm Width: 42.…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint tool possibly a chopper, mesolithic-Neolithic in date. The tool is a lozenge shaped flake the ventral side has some small removals that may be later as they break the patinated surface of the object. The dorsal side has three longitudinal flake scars from previous removals with only a small bit of cortex remaining at the distal end. The whole surface has become patinated to a pale grey-white colour except where some later flakes have broken the surface, possibly from natural damage. At the distal end there is some evidence of retouch around the broadest point. L…

County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint axehead, c.8300-4500BC. The axehead is unusually short, with a curved cutting edge and a rounded butt. There is a large tranchet flake removal scar at the butt end of the axe. A small area of cortex remains in a recess possibly caused by a fossil. One side has a longitudinal ridge running from behind the cutting edge to the tip of tranchet flake. The other side has a rounded surface.

A Mesolithic flint adze head, dating to the period c.8000-4500BC. The object is sub- triangular in plan, tapering from the cutting edge to the butt. The cutting edge appears tohave been formed by the removal of a single tranchet flake. The adze has a slightly curved profile, with one side being shorter than the other, giving the butt a slight hooked shape.
