Record ID: DUR-CC556F
Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Gateshead
Workflow stage: Published
A group of 2 flint microliths of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Lithic no. 1 retains a small amount of cortex on the dorsal and is therefore a secondary flake. Lithic no. 2 retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flakes are a dark grey in colour. The cortex is a light grey. Dimensions: No. 1: Length- 4.06mm, Width- 2.23mm, Thickness- 1.08mm, Weight- 0.1g No. 2: Length- 2.71mm, Width- 2.43mm, Thickness- 1.02mm, Weight- <0.1g

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Gateshead
Workflow stage: Published
A group of 5 flints, either flint working debitage or possible Lithic Implements of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-triangular in plan and concaveo-convex in section. All of the lithics taper to a point on the distal end. Lithic no. 2 has a notched aspect at the proximal end possibly from a hinged flake removal. Lithic no. 5 retains some retain some cortex on the dorsal surface and is therefore a secondary flake. The others retain no cortex and are therefore tertiary flakes.
