Record ID: YORYM-FC9A8C
Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint retouched flake of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The object is sub-spatulate in profile and bi-convex in section. The dorsal surface has partial scaled flaking at the distal end and retained cortex along the majoriay of its surface. The distal, left and right hand edges contain rough crossed-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly convex due to a small bulb of percussion situated at the distal end.
The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.
The flint is dark grey in colour with cream inclusions through out. The cortex is light grey.

A complete flint retouched blade of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has partial scaled flaking at the distal end and left hand edge. All edges contain rough semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly convex due to a small bulb of percussion situated at the distal end, the prominence of the bulb has been reduced by means of a single flake removal.
The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is light brown in colour with cream inclusions through out.

A complete knapped lithic implement of probable Mesolithic date, circa 9000 - 4000 BC. The implement is a piece of debitage which is irregular in both plan and section.
The knapping process can produce a great deal of irregular waste which is known as debitage. These fragments can include broken flakes, small chips and shattered angular fragments. It is often difficult to distinguish between debitage and naturally shattered material.
The flint is a dark grey colour with lighter inclusion. The implement is 16.2mm long, 18.3mm wide, 9.5mm thick and weighs 13.7g.
