Record ID: YORYM-A29D98
Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint microlith of Mesolithic date, c.7000-4000 BC.
The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and distal edges have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth displaying ripples of percussion. The lithic retains a no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
Length: 14.3mm, Width: 12.6mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 0.2g.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, circa 7000 - 2300 BC.

The dorsal surface has an inward curved upper edge which displays short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch. An irregular patch of cortex is retained.
The flint is a mid-brown colour. The implement is 19.4mm long, 17.5mm wide, 4mm thick and weighs 1.9g.

Object type: SERRATED IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of possible Mesolithic to early Neolithic date, c. 7000 - 3500 BC. The object is a serrated blade or saw which is broadly oval in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is smooth with visible ripples of percussion. Both edges of the dorsal surface feature short, stepped, low-angle retouch which create saw tooth serrated edges along the entire length.
The flint is an orange-brown colour with occasional lighter and darker inclusions. The lack of pebble cortex suggests that this object was formed from …

Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint core of late Mesolithic date, c.7000 - 4000 BC. The core is conical with an ovate section. A single striking platform is present. Multiple negative scars from blade removal are present over one curved surface of the core.
The flint is a light grey colour. The implement is 28.8mm long, 28.9mm wide, 21.6mm thick and weighs 15g.
This is a relatively small core, suggesting it could have been carried around and maintained for continued use to produce small blades as required over time. Broader flakes are indicative of an earlier Mesolithic date, with a general move t…
