Record ID: DUR-BB0370
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flake of flint debitage of uncertain age but possible Mesolithic to Bronze Age date (9000 to 2200 BC). This is a flake of semi-translucent grey flint with white inclusions and a light patina. It is sub-triangular in shape and sub-triangular in cross section. The dorsal surface has three flake removal scars with conchoidal ripples that indicate that they were struck from the pointed end making this the proximal end. The distal end has been snapped off and the lack of patina at this end would indicate this was done at a later date. The original flake would therefore have been longer.…

A tertiary flake of dark grey flint that resembles a thumbnail scraper of possible Mesolithic origin. This piece has no evidence of retouch but may be an abandoned attempt to produce a scraper. The ventral face is concave and has scars where flakes have been removed from the bulb of percussion. The dorsal face is convex and the striking platform is very jagged, there are some very narrow flake removal scars here which may indicate some attempt to dress the edge of the striking platform. The flint has a light/pale covering patina. Weight 3.0g, Length 21.18mm, Width 17.76mm, Thick…

A collection of 4 chunks of worked flint of possible Mesolithic origin. The flints all have multiple flake removal scars and have no evidence of retouch. Chunk 1 is heavily re-corticated, indicative of being in the ground a relatively long time after being worked. Chunk 4 is a pale semi-translucent flint, almost quartz-like. There is a shallow bulb of percussion on the ventral surface and a small lump of cortex on the distal end of the dorsal surface. It is possible that this is a core rejuvenation flake. Chunk 1: Weight 2.5g, Length 22.90mm, Width 12.30mm, Thickness 10.07…

Five flint chunks of possible Mesolithic origin. Four of the pieces are secondary chunks with 30% to 50% cortex over a dark grey/brown semi-translucent flint. The fifth and smallest chunk is a grey/brown semi-translucent tertiary flint pointed at both ends. Each piece has a number of flake removal scars but there are no clear striking platforms. The largest chunk has some crushing along one edge that may indicate its use as a hammer stone. Chunk 1: Weight: 7.2g, Length 23.38mm, Width 20.51mm, Thickness 14.15mm. Chunk 2: Weight: 5.0g, Length 35.61mm, Width 13.54mm, Thick…

piece of flint debitage of possible Mesolithic origin. This flint has been heavily re-corticated following its original production suggesting a long period in the ground post production. It has the form of an unfinished microburin but lacks any evidence of retouch. The distal end has been broken relatively recently to expose dark grey flint and this has removed any evidence there might have been of retouch. The ventral surface is deeply convex and the dorsal surface has four narrow flake removal scars.The proximal end has been roughly snapped, possibly at the time of production…

A complete chert blade of Late Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular. The dorsal surface is convex and contains four predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises and evidence of hinged flake removal within the mesial portion. Both the proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted. There is a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch along the distal left hand edge. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The chert is cream in colour. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary…
