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.

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…

Mesolithic blade knapped from mid to light grey flint. The dorsal surface has two parallel ridges where previous flakes have been removed. One of these removals has resulted in a hinged termination. The proximal end has snapped, removing the bulb of percussion from the proximal end. The distal end of the ventral surface has an overshoot termination. The hinge fracture and overshoot suggests that this is poor quality flint. There is slight retouch along one od the edges, as well as some post depositional damage.

Two Mesolithic microblades, both of a grey flint with an almost blue tinge. They are quite small and fine and must have demanded some very careful shaping to achieve their regular, rectangular form. Both are slightly patinised, the larger with the typical white patina spattered across both faces, the smaller with a more unusual darker one, which streaks across the proximal end. These blades are characteristic of the later Mesolithic period and examples of a very similar nature may be found in Bond (2001, 116; ref. 2) Larger Blade: L.: 38.45mm, W.: 12.15mm, Th.: 5.44mm, Wt.: 3.06g S…

Neolithic blade; Knapped flint blade of probable Neolithic date (approximately 3500 BC – 2100 BC). The blade is of opaque, cream-white flint with touches of pale blue and rust-colour in its fabric. It is formed of one long flake with further strikes along the ‘front’ face to give a triangular cross-section. The back face has a prominent bulb of percussion where it was struck away from the core. There is some evidence of secondary working to shape the cutting edges along both long sides of the flake. Length 39.6mm, width 14.8mm, thickness 4.5mm, weight 2.73g

A flint blade which dates from the Mesolithic period. The blade is 31.7mm long, 13.1mm wide and 4.5mm thick. It has diffused bulb of percussion. The dorsal side is scarred from previous parallel removals. The butt is lipped. There is a little cortex surviving on the left hand side, and slight retouch on the distal right hand side. The blade was probably used as a minimally worked cutting tool. This style of blade was most commonly produced in the Mesolithic period (Butler, 2005). The flint is light grey and is patinated.

Small snapped blade of probable later Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The blade is irregular and possibly is a core rejuvenation flake. The blade consists a clear faceted striking platform on one edge, below which a series of flake scars are present on the dorsal face. The upper scar on the dorsal face is irregular, possibly due to a flaw in the flint. The lower two scar facets represent the removal of blades in an opposite direction (probably with the core being worked in a direction of 180 degree to the striking platform present on this flake. The reverse (ventral) face has several a…

A Neolithic flint blade from the outer area of the core. The flint is probably a river sourced pebble. The blade shows both hinge fractures on the front (dorsal) face and choncoidal fractures and bulb of percussion on the reverse (ventral). The striking platform is also present. The retouch on the long edges is from indirect percussion and is neat and regular. The cortex suggests that several blades have been removed from the core prior to the removal of this flake
