Workflow stage: Published
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…

Five chert blades representing debitage of of Late Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The flakes have multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises. All of the flakes taper to points at the distal ends and all have a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. None retain any cortex. Two of the group (4 & 5 bottom middle and right) have small bulbs of percussion at the proximal end of the ventral side. The chert ranges in colour from cream to light brown to light grey. All flakes are tertiary. Length: 19.80mm, Width: 8.36mm, Thickness: 3.25mm, Weight: 0.5g. Length: 25.23mm, Width: 6…

Four chert blades representing debitage of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). No cortex is retain on any of the lithics, there are therefore all tertiary flakes. The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section. Both the proximal and distal ends have been blunted. There is some fine semi-abrupt retouch along the right hand edge. The chert is cream in colour. Length: 10.94mm, Width: 4.52mm, Thickness: 1.14mm, Weight: 0.1g. The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The proximal end has been blunted and the distal end has a minor amount of semi-a…
