Mesolithic black chert tool. Probably used as a fine chisel and for widening holes. Full use has been made of the areas that are high quality material. There are a few removals to the distal that produce a curved chiseled end. These have received a significant amount of wear. It is probable that use has been made of the way the stone has fractured to enable to act has a hole widener. This impression is re-inforced by a long fine removal down one edge that seems to have been made in order to improve its cutting abilities while being twisted. Dates to between c8300 and c4500 BC.

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…

Mesolithic to early Neolithic worked mid grey flint or chert notched arrowhead or scraper. It is nearly identical in plan to the quartzite LANCUM-0A4612, though due to the easier to work stone, this artefact is much thinner and a little smaller. Dates to between c6500 and c2900 BC. The length is 15mm, width 8.5mm, thickness 1.5mm, and the weight is under 0.1g.

A special type of lithic flake with a chisel-like edge, which was probably used for gouging or carving wood, leather or bone. This is a small, fine flint implement, oval in shape with a sharp point, dating from late Mesolithic to early Neolithic. Conchoidal ripples are pronounced on both surfaces. It is reddish brown in colour. It measures 20.64mm x 14.82mm and weighs 0.48g. These flints form part of a large antiquarian collection of general surface finds.

Black Pennines chert microlith possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic 6500-2900 BC. The chert is a dull black in colour with traces of the original white banding at the distal end. The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are known sources of black chert in the South Pennines and is naturally occurring in beds on Pendle Hill and in the local glacial dumped material. The length is 9mm, width 6mm, thickness 5mm and the weight is 1.63g.
