Record ID: LANCUM-B11D02
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Small waste flint, probably from tool knapping. The flint is quite small and of dark brown colour. The surface and edges are still crisp and seem hardly worn at all. Although there may be signs of retouch, there are no traces of patination or further working. Because of its size and doubtful origin it is classed here as waste flake or debitage.

Small waste flint, probably from tool knapping. The flint is very small and honey brown in colour. The surface is worn and it does not show any sign of patination, retouch or working and as such is classed here as waste flake or debitage.

Eleven pieces of secondary debitage. The material is all very angular due to being struck off of fractured river pebbles. All flints have between 50 – 5 % cortex on them. None have been retouched. It is likely that most of them are a result of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic tool production. Combined weight: 84.73 grams

Thirty-Two fragments of primary flint waste as well as natural flint and chert pebbles. The majority of this material has not been worked and which has has been produced in the primary phase of working. The majority of this material is river washed or beach pebble. Although no real artefacts are present – this collection of natural unworked flint comes from the discreet flint scatter discussed in other records from the same area. The collection of this material with artefacts from the later Mesolithic and the Early Neolithic might hint at the source of flint being used. Flint is not …

Three waste knapped flint flakes or debitage. The three flakes have been knapped from an opaque red/brown coloured flint. One flake has a patch of cortex remaining, with multiple scars on the dorsal surface. One flake also has multiple scars on the dorsal surface, whereas the third is probably a fragment of a flake. Together the pieces weigh 5.1g. The debitage probably dates to the Mesolithic to early Bronze Age, -8300 to –1500.

Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is irregular in both plan and profile. It has number of regular facets (caused by flaking) on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. There is a patch of cortex (the rough outer skin of the flint nodule) present on the dorsal edge. This suggests that this flake comes from the secondary phase of tool production. The cortex is white and is similar to that of flint nodules from chalk areas. The underside (ventral face) of the flake shows a small neat bulb of percussion, which is position…

Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly sub-triangular in both plan and profile. It has number of regular facets (caused by flaking) on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. There is no evidence of cortex (the rough outer skin of the flint nodule) present on either face. This suggests that this flake comes from the tertiary phase of tool production. On one edge is a smooth rounded bevel. This has been created by wear, rather than flaking, and suggests that this piece of debitage is in fact from the re-working o…

Two possibly knapped flint flakes or debitage. The debitage both have fire-fractured surfaces, and only one has a large area of cortex remaining. Both have negative flake scars. Together they weigh 15.1g. The flakes are possibly dated to the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods ( (c. -3500 to c. -1500). The fire-fracturing may have occurred recently or in prehistory. If it occurred in prehistory there are different theories way flint was burnt and the resemblance to an arrowhead is accidental. Fire-fractured flint may have been used in cooking, for example to create steam ovens, to be cr…

A waste flake of flint. The flake is 60.6mm long, 18.3mm wide and 7.2mm thick. The flake is a tertiary flake which is curved. There is some edge damage on the flake but it does not appear to have been further worked. It is counted as debitage – the waste flakes produced during the production of a tool. The flake has a slight patina and is opaque. It is grey with white inclusions. It probably dates from the Neolithic period. Small chips of white quartz were also found in the area.

An assemblage of flint waste, dating to the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic periods: 14 flakes from the production of Late Mesolithic narrowblade microliths 7 miscellaneous Early Neolithic flakes. This collection is interesting and shows that activity on the site spanned many years. Though the dominance of waste flakes and retouch forms over cores suggests that occupation at the site was transitory, rather than settled, the finder states that cores are present onsite.

A heat altered flint flake. This flint could be mistaken for a retouched flake due to the end appearing to have retouch, but in fact the marks are small potlid fractures which are not quite at edge following close inspection. This is accompanied by the small hairline fractures over the dorsal and ventral surfaces, caused by firing. It measures 18.1mm x 15.5mm x 5mm, weighing 1.51g.

Flake of flint debitage (waste product from tool production) of probable later Neolithic date (2900 - 2100 BC). The debitage is from the secondary phase of tool production as one face has a relatively large area of cortex (outer rind of flint nodule) present suggesting that it is derived from nodules bedded in chalk. The flake is irregular in plan and also profile. The dorsal (upper) face has a series of relatively regular flake facet scars present whilst the ventral (lower) face shows a clear bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples.
