Record ID: SUR-AE6DA7
Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint microlith of early Mesolithic date (Clark Group F; Jacobi Group C, 10a), probably a Horsham point. The original form was asymmetrical and triangular. One long side is backed with abrupt retouch, the convex side feathers to an edge which has a patch of short abrupt retouch blunting it at the proximal end and an area of what may be use related damage towards the distal end. The proximal end is concave with a hollow base defined by abrupt retouch. The distal point has broken off.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete geometric microlith, of mid grey flint with misty paler grey patination, of Jacobi, R. (1978) Group 4, obliquely, finely, and very steeply retouched (c. 90 degrees to the faces) to form a convex “back” to the also convex sharp edge opposing the blunt retouch, the whole flint giving a lenticular plan form with an isosceles triangle cross section.
Mesolithic, possibly late due to the small size, 7,000 to 4,000 BC.

A complete flint microlith of Mesolithic date, c.7000-4000 BC.
The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and distal edges have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth displaying ripples of percussion. The lithic retains a no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.

A complete flint microlith, of probable late Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 5000 BC - 2351 BC).
It is broadly crescent shaped and is sub-triangular in cross-section.
On the ventral face is a clear bulb of percussion with conchoidal ripple marks travelling towards the distal, pointed end. There is evidence of lateral flake removal on the dorsal face and flake removal or retouch along the right hand edge. This possibly indicates earlier removals of small bladelets. There is also evidence of small scale retouch along the long edges although this is …

An incomplete microlith struck from a bladelet of orange brown flint, 29.3mm in length with a trapezoidal cross section. At the proximal end is a retouched notch next to a break where a microburin has been removed; there is no distal break suggesting the object was discarded before completion (see Butler, 2005: 90 for a summary of the microburin technique). There appears to be some abrupt retouch along one long side adjacent to the notch.

A complete microlith dating to the Mesolithic period (c. 9000 B.C. - c. 4000 B.C.). Manufactured on a tertiary blade of patinated, opaque pinkish-white flint. There does not appear to be any retouch. Due to the shape it is probably later Mesolithic in date.
This microltih can be classified as Type B6c (Jacobi 1978).
The overall dimensions are as follows: 13.25mm in length, 6.51mm in width,1.84mm in thickness and 0.12g in weight.

A flint microlith of probably Mesolithic date (c. 8000-4000 BC). It is formed from a tertiary flake of flint that has a greyish-brown patina with light tan mottling.
The microlith is roughly sub-triangular in shape, measuring 18.92mm long and 15.77mm wide at the rounded base. There are signs of semi-abrupt retouching on the right side of the ventral face and potentially some invasive retouch near the top of the right-side of the dorsal face.
