Record ID: NARC-063F41
Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint microlith formed from a broken bladelet. The microlith is triangular in shape and has a flat butt formed at the break. The left lateral edge has abrubt retouch which forms a blunt edge, perhaps to facilitate slotting the point into a shaft. The right edge is naturally sharp and appears not to have been retouched. The implement is sub-trapezoidal in section. It measures 10.62 mm in length, 5.57 mm wide, 1.84 mm thick and weighs 0.1 gram. The flint is a mottled dark grey in colour.

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint microlith formed from a broken bladelet, probably using the microburin technique. The microlith is triangular in shape and trapezoidal in section. There is abrubt retouch along the left lateral edge, creating a blunt edge (this edge was perhaps slotted into an organic shaft or handle). The opposite edge has some further retouch applied by pressure flaking from the dorsal surface. The butt is square. The flint ranges from pale grey/cream to a darker grey in colour. It measures 22.04 mm long, 7.47 mm wide, 2.74 mm thick and weighs 0.3 grams.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint artefact, probably a microlith. The tool is formed from a broken bladelet. The oblique edge at the break may suggest that the bladelet was broken using the microburin technique, where the bladelet is broken down into separate parts by introducing a notch, removing the proximal end. Brown discolouration of the flint at the left edge of the ventral surface (if ventral surface is facing) may indicate burning, perhaps as part of the microlith production process. There is slight retouch along the right lateral edge (dorsal side facing) although the left edge appe…
