Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete teritary debitage flake, of probable Mesolithic to Early Neolithic dating (6500 BC to 3500 BC). The flake is sub rectangular in shape, and sub triangular in cross section. A ridge runs the length of the dorsal (upper) surface. The remains of conchoidal ripples and a bulb of percussion are present on the ventral (lower) surface. Minimal retouch is present along the long edge and can be classified as short, parallel, semi-abrupt. It measures 15.3 mm in length, 6.9 mm wide and 4.2 mm thick. It weighs 0.5 g. The flint is an dark brown colour, with minimal surface patinatio…

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake of probable Neolithic date. The flake is sub-trapezoidal in shape and appears to be broken, missing its proximal end. It has been retouched using pressure flaking on the left lateral edge, and was possibly used as a cutting blade. The flint is a pale cream in colour. It measures 15.4 mm long, 24.65 mm wide, 2.7 mm thick and weighs 1.3 grams.

Knapped flint scraper on a re-used flake. Probably Neolithic or Bronze Age. Mass: 4.6g; length: 23.4mm; width: 22.2mm; thickness: 9.3mm. Ripples of the conchoidal fracture on the ventral face. Dorsal face is approximately 50% cortical, with semi-abrupt retouch around the edge. Brown flint is patinated other than on the retouched edges indicating that this was a re-used flake.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Retouched flint flake. Probably Neolithic. Light grey/off-white flint. Mass: 3.2g; length: 35.3mm; width: 22.1mm; thickness: 4.6mm. Ripples of the conchoidal fracture on the ventral face. Arrises and unidirectional flake/blade scars on the dorsal face, with retouch on all edges except the proximal end. There is a notch on one edge and the distal end narrows to a ?slightly incomplete tip, suggesting that the tool may have functioned as a notched scraper and piercer.
