A piece of flint debitage of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 7000 - 3500 BC) in the form of a blade. The blade is struck off a tertiary flake and retains none of its original cortex. The dorsal surface exhibits five parallel negative flake scars from previous blade removal and a step termination at the distal end. The ventral surface exhibits a small, low bulb of percussion and tightly spaced conchoidal ripple marks. There is no evidence of retouch. The blade has been recorticated due to long term burial in a chalk environment, and is white-grey in colour. The piece of debitage …

A piece of flint debitage of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 7000 - 3500 BC) in the form of a blade. The blade is struck off a tertiary flake and retains none of its original cortex. The dorsal surface exhibits three parallel negative flake scars from previous blade removal. A striking platform is present at its proximal end. The ventral surface exhibits a low bulb of percussion but no conchoidal ripple marks are present. There is perhaps evidence of short, stepped retouch towards its distal end. The blade has been recorticated due to long term burial in a chalk environment, and is w…

A piece of flint debitage of Mesolithic date (c. 10,000 - 4000 BC) in the form of a bladelet. The blade is struck off a tertiary flake and retains none of its original cortex. The dorsal surface exhibits three negative flake scars from previous blade removal, which give the bladelet a triangular cross section. The ventral surface exhibits a very low bulb of percussion and faint conchoidal ripple marks. There is no evidence of retouch. The bladelet has been recorticated due to long term burial in a chalk environment, and is white-grey in colour. The piece of debitage measures 37.…

A piece of flint debitage of probable Neolithic-Bronze Age date, circa 4000 - 801 BC. It is a tertiary flake and retains none of the original cortex. The dorsal face exhibits 6 negative flake scars from previous flake removal, one of which terminates in a hinge fracture. The proximal end has a large striking platform, and a bulb of percussion is present on the ventral face, as well as two parallel flake scars from flake removal.

Sevon incomplete flakes prehistoric flint debitage. The flakes represent a number of flint sources, and are a mix of tertiary and secondary flakes, although where it survives the area still covered by cortex is invariably small. The proximal end survives on three flakes, these all have relatively diffuse bulbs of percussion, only one exhibiting a bulbar scar and with one exhibtiign a slight 'lip' at the platform, suggesting the use of a soft hammer. One flake exhibits platform preparation, and clear evidence of multiple striking platforms. The flakes exhibit a mixture of sub-parallel …

A secondary flint blade flake classed as debitage, the material produced during the process of lithic reduction and blade manufacture. The flake is sub-rectangular in shape due to a laterally break, possibly during manufacture. A very small amount of cortex remains on the distal end of the dorsal face. The flint is light brown and semi-translucent with a mid-loss patina. The bulb of percussion is lost, however there are strong conchoidal ripples indicating probable use of a hard hammer. The dorsal faces hows multiple small parallel blade removal scars. Date: Late Neolithic to Early…

Atertiary flint waste flake of mid-grey opaque colour, probably dating from the Neolithic period to Early Bronze Age (circa 4000 BC-2200 BC ). The Dorsal face has three longitudinal flake removals which are highlighted with iron staining to the ridges. The distal end and working edge appear to be damaged with the back retouched to form a flat back edge. The ventral face has a bulb of percussion with very slight rippling. The platform has some recent damage. Length: 68.48 mm. Width: 45.18. Thickness: 17.91 mm. Weight:53 grams.

Primary flint waste flake. Dark and light grey patchy flint with a glossy patina on the ventral face. A flake from a naturally weathered and damaged piece of flint. The dorsal face has several scars from natural weathering and tumbling. There are some small patches of nodule coretex on one edge of the flake. There is a large striking platform at the proximal end and a large bulb of percussion and clear waves of percussion on the ventral surface.

There is a small striking platform at the proximal end and a small bulb of percussion with a bulbar scar on the ventral face.The dorsal face is heavily worked with numerous small, elongate flaking scars from the production of bladelets. the scars have marked waves of percussion. There is some irregular loss at the proximal end of the dorsal face and this, together with the fact that the flake is quite thick, suggest this is a co…

Two secondary waste flakes. Irregular flakes, both of banded light grey-brown and dark grey flint with a low gloss patina on the light grey brown areas and a milky-white patina on the dark grey. Both have areas of yellowed nodule cortex. Both flakes have some recent edge damage. The first flake has a small striking platform and a bulb of percussion with a bulbar scar. The distal end has been snapped off. There are two flaking scars on the dorsal surface flanking a large area of cortex. The second flake is a fragment from the distal end of a larger piece. Again the rest has been snappe…

Two tertiary waste flakes. Elongate flakes, both of mid grey-brown with occasional off-white patches and a mid gloss patina. Both flakes have some recent edge damage. Both flakes are indicative of blade production. The first flake has a small striking platform and a bulb of percussion with a bulbar scar. There are prominent waves of percussion on the ventral face. There are several flaking scars on the dorsal surface. The distal end is wider than the proximal end and appears to be broken. The second flake has had the proximal end snapped off.
