Early Neolithic flint blade. The blade is trapezoidal in shape and in cross-section. 2 flakes have been knapped from one face, one on each side. One edge of the tool has been worked to give it a serrated edge. The tool has broken and so is incomplete- it would have been longer when it was made.

Late Mesolithic/ Neolithic flint blade or side scraper, measuring 39x16.3x5.4mm and weighing 3.48g. The right and left dorsal edges have small but repetitive workings along their length, with additional but lighter working on the ventral edges. The flint is heavily patinated with 5% cortex on the upper right dorsal edge and next to this, at the distal end, a break revealing the dark/ black flint underneath. The patination is c.1mm thick.

Probably Neolithic possible blade, measuring 40.7x17.3x5.4mm and weighing 3.91g. The distal edge is the widest part and has been worked thin with a little retouch. The right and left edges extend outwards to meet either end of this edge and have been abruptly worked on both dorsal and ventral faces. There is no retouch. The flint is c.90% patinated with a small patch of iron staining. Retouch shows a dark grey flint beneath.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete Mesolithic or Neolithic flint flake, snapped transversly in two places. It measures 19.4x15.8x4.8mm and weighs 1.81g. There is some chipping to the right dorsal and left ventral edge although this seems to be from wear. The flint is a translucent brown in colour with a darker stripe through the centre. It has virtually no patination. The flake may well have been intended for use as a blade.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Relatively large flint blade of probable later Mesolithic date (6500BC - 3500BC). The flint tool is sub-rectangular in plan and broadly sub-triangular in cross section. The bulb of percussion is complete and there is evidence of retouch / reworking to both the long sides of the blade. These are most concentrated in the upper right edge. A small area of cortex is also present on blade; this suggests that the flake was produced during the earlier life of the core as this material had not yet been removed. However, the upper face of the blade has a series of flake scars suggesting that it…

Lower segment of snapped flint blade of probable late Mesolithic date (6500BC - 3500BC). The flint tool is sub-rectangular in plan and broadly sub-triangular in cross section. The bulb of percussion is missing. There is evidence of retouch / reworking to both the long edges of the blade. There is no evidence of cortex on any part of the blade; this suggests that the flake was produced during the later life of the core once this material has been removed. The flint is a light matt grey colour and has been slightly abraded in the ploughsoil. The source of flint is difficult to ascertain;…

Upper segment of snapped and reworded chert blade of probable late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date (6500BC - 2500BC). It is probable that this flake has been adapted to form a crude shaped awl or borer. The chert tool is sub-rectangular in plan with the lower edge of the chert being shaped into a point. The flake is broadly sub-triangular in cross section. The bulb of percussion is not present. There is also no evidence of cortex on any part of the blade; this suggests that the flake was produced during the later life of the core once this material had been removed. There is evidenc…

Small segment of a flint blade or possible flake of probable late Mesolithic date (6500BC - 3500BC). The flint tool is sub-triangular in plan and in cross section. The bulb of percussion is missing.

Eight small snapped blades of probable late Mesolithic date (6500BC - 3500BC). All consist of either the upper of lower parts of the blade and some exhibit bulbs of percussion.

Two snapped blades of probable late Mesolithic date (6500BC - 3500BC). Both consist of the upper parts of the blade and exhibit bulbs of percussion. There is no evidence of any significant reworking on any of the blades. Both have evidence of cortex on the blade; this suggests that the flakes were produced during the earlier life of the core before all this material had been removed. The flint is a light grey white colour and has been slightly abraded in the ploughsoil. The source of flint is difficult to ascertain; much of the local flint is procured from glacial and riverine sources.…

County: Essex

Mesolithic or Neolithic blade. Knapped from good quality dark brown-black flint. There is a flat area of cortex at the proximal end, which was utilised as a striking platform. There is a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface, with impact ripples radiating down the length of the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has two parallel ridges along its length. There is a hinged termination just before the distal end on both the dorsal and ventral surface. These hinged terminations resulted in the incomplete flaking of the surface, thus leaving natural cortex covering the distal end. Ther…

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Upper Palaeolithic flint blade, bifacially knapped, with both edges sharpened. It is asymmetrical, and the distal left side of the blade is almost bulbous as it is thicker than the rest of the object. The flint itself is grey-white in colour, with a very small amount of iron staining. Some cortex remains on the tip on the dorsal face, and a grey brown patina appears in patches on both faces.

A Neolithic or early Bronze Age knapped blade or knife. The flint is knapped from a mottled mid to dark brown flint. The ventral surface has a single negative flake scar, and conchoidal rings, but the bulb of percussion is not visible. The dorsal surface has three vertical negative flake scars with re-touch along one side. The other side some re-touch but also some recent abrasion has taken place. The upper portion appears to have been notched to form a possible haft. It measures 73mm long and 22.68mm wide. It weighs 14.18g. The blade or knife is probably dated to the Neolithic to ear…
