Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flnt lithic implement of probable Melithic to Neolithic date (c. 9000 BC - 2100 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and slightly curved. The cross-section is D-shaped with a distinct point off-centre on the dorsal face, suggesting this object was a core with up to four flake removals surrounding. The left and right edges show potential abrupt retouch (as noted by the finder) suggesting subsequent use as a scraper. The object was struck from a secondary flint flake and the object is opaque grey with white patination. Cortex has been noted by the finder on the…

An incomplete flint scraper probably dating to the Mesolithic period (c. 9000-3450 BC). The scraper has been formed from a tertiary light grey flint flake. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. The ventral face has a rounded striking platform at the proximal end with a shallow bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has one prominent central ridge. The object has been recorded from photographs kindly supplied by the finder, thus is is difficult to accurately determine the extent, if any, of retouch applied.

A tertiary flake (rather than a finished implement) of worked flint waste, dated possibly from Mesolithic to early Neolithic (c10000 - 3500 BC). There is no evidence of the cortex. The flint is a rough teardrop shape, broad at the top tapering to a straight distal end, concave in profile and a translucent brown colour. As you look at the dorsal face, the striking platform sits at the top, just left of centre. There are faint conchoidal ripples across the face. Possibly soft hammer with a low bulb of percussion and four vertical ridges. The ventral face is slightly concave with signs o…
