Record ID: BERK-3B3391
Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake on a secondary blade-like flake. The flint is dark brown and semi-translucent with approximately 40% cortex remaining on its dorsal surface. The bulb and platform appear to be missing due to a break at the proximal end however lines of percussion remain. The soft-hammer retouch is restricted to a 17mm length along the left dorsal lateral. It is fine and well executed. This informal tool likely dates from the late Mesolithic to Neolithic period, c. 6500-2100 BC.

Object type: MICRODENTICULATE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but slightly damaged struck flint, a possible microdenticulate or a multi-tool of probable Mesolithic date (c. 10,000-4000 BC). The tool is formed on a blade-like secondary flake of mottled light and dark grey flint and retains c.5% cortex around the platform on the proximal dorsal end. Flake scars on the dorsal surface show previous removals. The platform and bulb is retained; the distal end of the tool appears broken and there has been some attempt at reworking the broken distal end. The dorsal surface bares abrupt retouch (backing?) along c.70% of the left lateral, fadin…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake on a secondary removal. The flake is long and thin with a roughly triangular cross section and does not have any retouch. There is a long flake scar on the dorsal surface of the flake. The size and shape of the flake suggests a late Mesolithic to Neolithic date.
