39 flint blades or bladelets. Multiple blade flakes have been removed from the surfaces of these blades. The blades all have either ripples of percussion, a hinge fracture, secondary retouch, a surviving bulb of percussion or a striking platform, which indicate that they have been worked. Some have been broken widthways. All are Mesolithic in date.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic backed blade, possibly a knife or sickle blade. The blade was made from a tertiary flake, with a flaking angle of 100 degrees and has no remaining cortex. It is 76.9mm long, 27.4mm wide, 14.2mm thick and weighs 28.8 grams. There is some small retouch at the distal end of the ventral face, that on the right hand side is invasive and semi abrupt while that on the left hand side is short and semi abrupt. On the dorsal face their has been extensive retouch to remove material on the right hand side, this has created a blunt, almost flat edge for hafting. The retouch is abru…

Neolithic flint blade. The blade was made on a tertiary blank with no cortex remaining and has extensive retouch. It is 39.8mm long, 17.5mm wide, 5.5mm thick and weighs 3.7g. It may have been used as a small knife or transeverse arrowhead and probably dates to the Mid-Late Neolithic. The bulb of percussion appears to have been removed by shattering of the flint during retouching. There is a small amount of scale retouch half way along the left hand edge of the ventral face and towards the proximal end of the right hand edge; the ventral face is otherwise unworked. The dorsal face is d…

Small flint blade of possible Mesolithic - Neolithic date. The blade is a tertiary piece with no original cortext remaining but it has extensive patination which has been stained orange by iron in the soil. The base colour of the flint appears mid grey in areas of modern damage with light grey cherty inclusions that have patinated differently. There is a prepared striking platform at the proximal end; bulb of percussion, percussion waves and bulb scars on the ventralk face and multiple arises on the dorsal face from provious removals. There is some modern chipping in the middle of the …

Large flint blade, secondary flake with c. 10% cortex remaining at the distal end. Prominent bulb of percussion; multiple arises and negative bulb scars on the dorsal face. Small area of short, semi-abrupt scaled retouch two thirds of the way down from the proximal end on the right hand edge of the ventral face. Probable damage rather than retouch at the centre of the right hand edge on the dorsal side – possibly an attempt to snap the flint. It maybe a large flake deliberately stuck to remove the mis-struck remains of the previous removal visible on the dorsal face. It is dark grey …

Small flint tertiary blade. Small bulb of percussion. Multiple arises and negative bulb scars on the dorsal face including small removal scars at the proximal end which have not however removed the striking platform. The distal tip is snapped and there is use wear down both edges and at the distal end on the left edge of the dorsal face. It is an even dark brown in colour. It is probably Mesolithic - Neolithic in date. 50.5mm long, 13.8mm wide, 4.8mm thick and 3.39 grams.

Large rough blade, Secondary blade with c.40% cortex remaining. Small amount of striking platform at the proximal end. Only one flake had been removed previously and this was probably produced as part of core preparation rather than for use. The flint is pale grey with darker mottling. It is hard to date single pieces precisely and it could be Mesolithic – Iron Age in date but the core preparation and lengh: width ratio suggests Mesolithic or Neolithic. 77.7mm long, 22.5mm wide, 11.6mm thick and 18.38 grams.

Triangular tertiary flake with no bulb of percussion although wide percussion waves and a wide platform at the top; suggesting it is the snapped end of a larger blade. Use wear along the right edge of the ventral face and left edge of the dorsal face. Possible area of use polish at the distal end on the ventral face. The flint is mid grey with paler inclusions – it has snapped across a wide pale grey area. Difficult to date precisely, it maybe Neolithic in date. 27.8mm long, 19.4mm wide, 4.1mm thick and 2.13grams.

Tertiary blade struck from double ended core with bulb of percussion and striking platform. Multiple arises on dorsal face and some usewear on the dorsal face at the proximal end of right edge and distal end of the left edge.

An assemblage comprising one complete flint blade and four incomplete blades, one of which has been turned into a burin. The numbers relate to the blades lined up left to right in the photographs. All the blades are fines struck from large, expertly worked cores of high quality downland flint. Blade 1: Proximal end of a snapped blade. Tertiary blade struck off a prepared platform with prominent bulb of percussion and percussion waves. There is damage to the striking platform and several bulb scars. The dorsal face has multiple arises from previous removals. There is abrupt scalar blun…
