Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint chunk, possibly debitage, of probable Mesolithic to Neolithic date, 9000 BC - 2200 BC. It is a secondary chunk, with no visible striking platform. There is a slight bulb of percussion on one face which suggests the blow was made onto the rounded cortex surface. This may not have been intentional. The chunk is a segment of a rounded nodule, triangular in cross-section. One face is convex and covered in cortex, another face is a removal facet, and the third has a band of glittering crystal across the centre, a flaw in the flint which probably caused it to break t…

A flint retouched flake, probably of Mesolithic to Bronze Age date, 10,000 BC - 1000 BC. It is a tertiary flake of patinated yellow grey flint with some damage to the edges. The flake is roughly rounded. It has very short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch on the sides and distal end except where the edge is missing. The retouch does not form a thick enough edge to be a scraper, and is perhaps best described as a utilised flake. The flake is 21.2mm long, 22.4mm wide and 7.1mm thick. 2.3g.

A flint, probably incomplete thumbnail scraper of unknown date, Mesolithic or early Bronze Age, 10,000 BC - 4000 BC, or 2400 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of semi-translucent grey flint with cortex in the cenrte of the dorsal face. The edges have scaled, semi-abrupt, invasive working. The scraped is thinner than most thumbnail scraper, but this is probably because the ventral face is damaged. It has a crystalline uneven surface and the original surface is probably missing, perhaps from the ventral face suffering battering post deposition. The striking p…
