County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint blade with retouch. Length 41.4mm; width: 27.1mm; thickness: 9.5mm; mass: 8.2g. The blade is broken at the distal end. The blade is partly coritical and dark grey and off white in colour. On the ventral face there is a bulb of percussion at the proximal end, with a small bulbar scar and ripples of the concoidal fracture running down the face. On the dorsal side there are multiple scars, and on one edge there is some invasive, retouch and a notch. It is unclear if the notch is an original feature or whether it represents damage. There are also some scars between t…

Retouched flint flake. Probably Neolithic (3500BC-2100BC). Mass: 8.7g; length: 50.8mm; width: 18.2mm; thickness: 12.4mm. Approximately 25% cortex on the dorsal face, with an arris and unidirectional negative flake scars towards the sub-triangular sectioned proximal end. The distal end has a sub-D-shaped-cross section. The tool has retouch on both edges, particularly on the more convex edge of the dorsal face. The tool may have functioned as a piercer, and its retouched sides may have been utilised for cutting and scraping.
