Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint piercer made on a bladelet dating to the Late Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic period (c. 20,000-4,000 BC). The piercer has been made on a tertiary flake of a mottled orange-brown flint. The bulb is retained as is the small fragment of the platform. There are two flake scars on the dorsal surface. The lower half of the left hand edge of the dorsal side has been worked with soft hammer precussion, becoming more invasive towards the tip of the piercer, which has detatched, possibly during production but potentially after deposition.

A late Mesolithic or Neolithic flint blade or flake: In section the blade is trapezoidal and in plan is sub-triangular. The dorsal surface has three main vertical scars. The ventral surface has ripples, bulb of percussion and bulbar scars. The proximal end is broken and missing, but this is not contemporary to the knapping as the mottled blue and white patina does not cover the break. The break reveals an opaque brown coloured flint. It measures 15.16mm long, 16.43mm wide, and weighs 1.6g. The flint is mottled pale blue/grey which is the patina.
