A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, circa 7000 - 3500 BC. The implement is a serrated blade or saw formed from a tertiary flake which is sub-trapezoidal in shape and ovate in section. The ventral surface is smooth with a visible bulb of percussion and striking platform from which very faint ripples radiate suggesting a soft hammer technique. The dorsal surface displays long flake removals and semi-abrupt, short, parallel retouch along the right edge to create the cutting surface. The flint is a mid-brownish-grey colour with lighter inclusions. The …

A complete knapped lithic implement of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, circa 2700 - 1600 BC. The implement is a scraper formed from a secondary flake which is fan-shaped with a D-shaped section. The ventral surface is smooth with a large negative scar and prominent ripples of percussion. The dorsal surface is irregular. Short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch is present on the distal edge. The flint is a dark grey colour with cortex remaining at the proximal end. The implement is 44.3mm long, 30.6mm wide, 10.2mm thick and weighs 11.1g.

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 a tapering sub-square section. A single striking platform is present from which multiple negative scars from blade removal extend over one face. The flint is a dark grey colour. The implement is 28.1mm long, 36.1mm wide, 31.9mm thick and weighs 36.3g. 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 towa…

Incomplete flint laurel leaf knife point of probable Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 2350 BC). The flint is a mottled grey and white colour. There is a flat edge where it has been broken from the complete implement. The object is consequently sub-triangular in plan and bi-convex in section, tapering slightly towards its point which sits slightly to one side. There is limited bi-facial retouch which is invasive, subparallel and low-angle and while the edge is sharp, it does not appear to have been finely worked. The length of the fragment is 47.86mm, it is 30.01mm at maximum width and 9.12mm…

Complete lithic implement formed from a flint flake, probably dating to Neolithic or Bronze Age (c. 4000 - 801 BC). The flake is sub-rectangular in profile, and convex, created from translucent grey flint with white spots. The lithic implement is flatter at one end and more bulbous at the other end. There is long sub-parallel retouch along one long side. Towards the more bulbous end of the flake the retouch becomes more scaled, although one's impression of this is obscured by a patch of recortication. The angle of retouch also becomes steeper towards the more bulbous end, changing fro…
