Flint implement, probably Neolithic to Bronze Age in date. The flint is a grey colour with small white and black patches. There are also some patches of the cortex remaining. It is a large core which has had flakes taken off all over, one end has been worked in particular. This end has a sub-rectangular extension with a rounded end and has been worked on all edges. This extension could be used as a tool, perhaps a borer or something similar.

County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Mesolithic flint Burin. Teardrop in plan, concavo convex in section, tapers to a point with a projecting ridge along the dorsal face. 30% or the surface is cortex therefore a secondary flake. On the distal face there is a prominent bulb of percussion and some bulbar scarring. The dorsal faces have scaled flaking with short semi-abrupt scaled retouch.25% of the right hand end towards the proximal end has short abrupt retouching. There is evidence of burin spall removal from a retouch platform around the point indicating a truncation burin.

A piece of flint debitage of Mesolithic date, circa 9,000 - 4,000 BC, in the form of a blade. It is a tertiary flake and therefore retains no cortex on its surface. The dorsal face exhibits 5 negative flake scars from previous flake removal. The proximal end has a striking platform and low bulb of percussion, with faint conchoidal ripple marks present on the ventral face. The flint is mid grey-brown in colour with dark grey inclusions.
