Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two retouched flint blades of Mesolithic date, about 10000 BC - 4000 BC. 1. A snapped blade fragment formed on a tertiary blade of partially patinated flint. It is trapezoid in plan - rectangular but with an oblique distal end - and trapezoid in cross-section with a double arris on the dorsal face. Both ends of the blade appear to be snapped. There is also some short, sup-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch in the centre of the right (longer) side. This piece may be waste material from the production of microliths or even an abandoned microlith blank. It is 12.5mm long, 9.1mm wide, 2.4mm…
