A 'Marles Wood' black chert core, possibly late Mesolithic to early Neolithic. The colour is almost black with numerous mid brown speckled inclusions. There is evidence of 5 large flakes having been struck laterally from the sides and evidence of a smaller flake having been removed from near the top of one of these. There is also evidence that a flake has been removed transversally from both the top and bottom of the piece. The base still retains a light grey cortex with a small 'vein' of iron stain. The colour and texture of the chert is typical of other examples found at the same lo…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small (diameter c20mm) stone ball formed out of a hard grey sedimentary stone with visible bedding planes. It was found eroding out of an mid to late mesolithic strata. It has had its sphericity augmented by pecking and rubbing. Its purpose is unknown but it looks like a sling stone. It weighs 7.4 grms. Probably dates to between c8300 to c2900 BC.
None of the very scarce comparable records has yet had a purpose ascribed to it. Numerous microliths, mesolithic debitage and material up to the Bronze Age, has been found on the site.

A stone chisel, probably rhyolite possibly originally derived from Cheshire. A great deal of care has been taken in its manufacture. The shaping at the rear of the tool suggests it was made to be mounted at the end of a bone, antler or piece of wood. Dating between c8300 and c4500 BC, probably Mesolithic. Some waste flakes were found close by (LANCUM-9F98D5). It measures 31mm in length, 16.5mm in width, 8mm in thickness and weighs 6.2grms.
