Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake of prehistoric date. The flint is a pointed oval in plan and wedge shaped in cross-section. The flint is water-worn with a mottled light to toffee brown patina. Notches along the thin edge may be worked however the edge is damaged and it is therefore difficult to be certain. The thin long edge measures 1.5mm thick with the flint expanding in thickness to the other size at 9mm. Dimensions: 50mm in length, 20mm in with, 9mm thick, 7.8g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core of Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. The object is conical with one platform at the top of the object and parallel striking down one face. Ripples are visible where one flake has been removed and at least four blades. On the opposite face an area of cortex remains to the side of which the core is a mottled blueish-white and yellow colour due to discolouration from the soil.

A lithic implement of prehistoric date. The object is triangular in plan and is a light creamy brown colour. Ron Cowell, Curator of Prehistoric Archaeology, Museum of Liverpool notes: Triangular piece of miscellaneous-type flint I haven't seen much of in the region. There is some possible working around the thinner butt end, with a vertical break on the reverse side removing where the bulb of percussion may have been. There are some longitudinal fine scars along the right hand side, although difficult to tell whether these were put on before the piece was removed from the nodule or…

A large flint core of early Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. The core is cylindrical with one platform and parallel striking of narrow blades. One face of the object has narrower scars from blade removal while on the opposite face wider blades have been removed down the length of the core with shorter narrower blades removed from above (towards the striking platform) at a diagonal angle to the lower removals. The removed flints appear to have been blades. There is no visible sign of platform dressing. A strip of light cream cortex remains along the length of one side of the core…

A small flint flake, possibly a borer, with abrupt retouch along the mesial portion of the right edge with relatively long scars. The flint increases in thickness on this side toward the proximal end, where there is evidence of a fracture/breakage. There is also semi-abrupt short retouch along the opposite edge on both faces, perpendicular to that of the other side and meeting in a point. From the ventral face, the point at the distal end is broken, with the top missing, and retouch on the left side is more abrupt with some extremely fine retouch present near to the promixal end.

A small lithic implement of uncertain date. The flint is sub-rectangular in plan and cross-section with an inverted triangular shaped profile. The ventral (lower) face is smooth with a few ripples and a low bulb of percussion. The dorsal (upper) face is faceted due to the removal of several possible blades. Short, parallel, low angled retouch can be seen along the shortest edge of the object. The flint is toffee-coloured. Dimensions: 12mm in length, 15mm in width, 4mm thick, 1.2g

A flint core dating to the Prehistoric period, (8300-800BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. On the dorsal face three parallel blades have been removed. A large bulb of percussion on the ventral face indicates that the object was struck with a hard hammer. At the proximal end the striking platform measures 18.22mm in width and is 6.33mm thick. The distal end is smooth and rounded. On the right hand side of the flint (looking at the dorsal face) is a short length of short semi-abrupt retouch.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Wirral
Workflow stage: Published
A Prehistoric stone tool dating from the Mesolithic through to the Bronze Age, (10,000-700BC) although a later date is possible. The object is oval in plan and sub-oval cross-section. Due to uneven thickness it is trapezoidal in profile. One face has been deliberately smoothed to form a straight and even face which terminates with a rounded end. The opposite end is stepped with the tip unsmoothed. The opposite face has been worn down at the rounded end and slopes down sharply to where it terminates. The surface of the thickest part of the object on this face is undulating before the o…
