Record ID: BERK-0569A6
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A horseshoe or thumbnail scraper made on a secondary flake. The flint is a brown-grey colur and some white patina remains on the dorsal surface. There is a small tang on this scraper apparently created on purpose. It is unclear whether this was for better grip in the fingers or if it was hafted to a wooden or bone handle. This small scraper measures 22.23mm long, 27.02mm wide and is 8.10mm thick. It weighs 5.2gms.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A secondary flake retouched on two dorsal edges, possibly a scraper tool. The flint is a brown-grey colour and some white patina is starting to form on both sides. The bulb and striking platform are both present on the ventral surface. This scraper tool probably dates to the late Mesolithic - early Neolithic period. It measures 51.66mm long, 32.25mm wide and is 8.70mm thick. It weighs 17.1gms.

County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete late Mesolithic / early Neolithic flint blade with serrated edges. Made on a tertiary flake, there are some larger removals on the dorsal side, while both edges have fine serration, also from the dorsal side. There has been some attempt to remove the bulb on the ventral side. The saw blade measures 31.71mm long, 20.23mm wide and is 5.65mm thick. It weighs 4.6gms.

Record ID: BERK-04F7D2
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three Mesolithic microliths made from a bluish-grey flint with one example being covered in a thick white patina. All three examples have retouch restricted to the dorsal laterals only and all have a roughly triangular cross section. The combined weight of these small tools is 1.6gms.

Record ID: BERK-5E6797
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A total of eight (8) primary flakes removed during core preperation. Two display hinge fractures, and all have bulbs of percussion. No additional working or retouch is evident. The combined weight of these primary flakes is 52.1gms.
These fragments would normally be difficult to date should they have been found in isolation, but the associated lithic implements suggest that they date from the late Mesolithic to the Neolithic periods (6500 - 2100 BC). As with the majority of the assemblage, the grey-blue core and white cortex suggests a chalk downland origin as the flint source.

Record ID: BERK-7EBFF2
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A collection of thirteen (13) core preparation fragments, mostly primary removals. All are probably Mesolithic - Neolithic in date and have a combined weight of 96.4gms.
These lithics were found in association with other artefacts of a similar date. As with the majority of the assemblage, the grey-blue core and white cortex suggests a chalk downland origin as the flint source.

Record ID: BERK-7E92E2
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Sixteen (16) fragments of debitage and/or waste flakes with a combined weight of 17gms. Most have a whitish or bluish-white patina covering a grey core, suggesting a chalk downland source, possible towards the Ridgeway. These were found in association with many other lithics (see links below). These are suggested to date from the late Mesolithic through the Neolithic era.
