Record ID: WMID-D4EC1D
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Tertiary flake, possibly dating to the Neolithic period. In plan the flake is closest to a rhomboid but for a protrusion of the proximal end where the bulb of percussion is visible. In section there is minimal curvature and only little variations in thickness. The flake is of a warm-grey to brown, and conchoidal ripples are visible on both faces. There is evidence of short parallel retouching on the mesal (noticeable on the right edge when facing the dorsal face).

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete, likely broken from a blade. The segment is 22.8 mm in length from the proximal end up to the point of breakage, which is marked by a clean break across the width. No cortex remains, and the blade segment is primarily a mid-to-light grey colour that is warm in tone. There appears to be some evidence of short retouching which, when facing the ventral side, appears as a serrated left edge and a possibly denticulate right edge. On the ventral face, there are conchoidal ripples visible which emanate from a small bulb of percussion.

A long flint flake possibly utilised as a blade of late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date, c.8000 - 3300 BC.
Description: The blade is formed from a long narrow tertiary flake, which has snapped off at the distal end with an old patinated break and a hinge fracture at the proximal end. It is broadly triangular in cross-section with a slightly concave ventral surface. The bulb of percussion is very low with slight, shallow conchoidal rippling suggesting the use of a soft hammer. The long edges are damaged and chipped with possible short, scaled, abrupt retouch on o…

A Neolithic discoidal scraper struck from a tertiary flake of grey flint, 47.3mm in length. The distal edge terminates in a hinge fracture and the sides and proximal end have been worked into scraping edges with short, semi-abrupt sub-parallel retouch. There is a notch at the proximal end next to the striking platform, which most likely derives from post depositional damage.

County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete red-hued flint bladelet, likely dating to the late Mesolithic period, with an almost grainy-like appearance.
It is rectangular-shaped, although it is leaning to a tilt. It is a double-edged blade, whereby both long sides are sharpened, while the uppermost short side seems to be the tip of the blade. While the blade is incomplete, as Mesolithic blades are often rather small, it is likely that there is not much missing, and abrasion caused by its time spent in the sea may account for any loss of surface.
