Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Luton
Workflow stage: Published
A collection of 12 waste flint flakes found during a fieldwalking exercise. The forms vary but the flints generally have a striking platform at the top, a single bulb of percussion and rippling scars. None have been retouched. This flint working debitage is consistent with Neolithic flint working technologies. The flakes range in weight from 5.76g to 11.82g. The total weight of the assemblage is 102.09g.

Fragment of retouched flint blade of probable early Neolithic date. The implement is 15.3mm wide and 4.1mm thick with a trapezoidal section. The remaining length is 25.9mm. The upper surface has been formed by the removal of small vertical flakes. The left hand side (as you look at it, with the squared off broken end at the top) is unworked, whilst the right hand side and bottom have been retouched to give a serrated edge. Weight = 2.31g.
