County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete chert micro burin of Mesolithic date (9500-4300 BC). The dorsal surface contains four predominant negative scars with three large arises and evidence of hinged flake removal at the distal end. The lithic tapers to a point at the distal end which is gently orientated towards the right hand side. The proximal edge is curved with a small notch removed from the right hand edge. The ventral surface is smooth and slightly concave. The proximal, distal, and right hand edges have semi-abrupt retouch. The chert is a light cream in colour with grey inclusions throughout.
