Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large flint flake of probable debitage, of unknown date. The flint appers to be struck, with a striking platform and blub of percussion at one end, but it may not have been an intentional blow. It is grey, opaque, secondary and broadly rectangular in plan and triangular in cross-section. The right side is covered with cortex apart from an area in the middle where there are abrupt scaled removals from both dorsal and ventral faces. The edges of the flint are crushed, suggesting the removals may be accidental, perhaps caused by tumbling or farm machinery. The left side h…

A flint lithic implement of unknown date, Upper Paleolithic to Bronze Age, about 13,000 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of glossy dark grey flint.

A flint retouched flake of possibly Neolithic date (4000 BC - 2200 BC). It is a flake formed on dark grey flint, and is a rough quadrilateral in plan, the proximal end being narrower. There is short, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch on the proximal end, and possible retouch on all the other edges, but this could also be edge damage. The three faces on the dorsal face are very flat, not appearing to have any visible direction of striking ripples, and the distal end is concave, being a previous removal scar. The removals on the distal end are restricted to the corners between the dorsal and…
