Record ID: WILT-2F92F1
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Neolithic/ Bronze Age worked flint flake, measuring 48.7x34x8.8mm and weighing 10.96g. The right dorsal and right ventral edges have low flaking, while at the ventral distal end a snap or crude abrupt retouch shows the dark/ black of the flint beneath the otherwise 100% heavy patination.

Mesolithic flint flake retouched in (probably) Neolithic times, measuring 64.8x33.7x8.7mm and weighing 19.33g. The upper right dorsal edge and left ventral edge has semi-abrupt flaking. The lower right dorsal edge has perhaps been used for Mesolithic microliths. The dorsal face has a negative bulb scar at its proximal end. The flint has 100% heavy patination.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Late Mesolithic/ Neolithic worked and notched flake. The amount of work suggests a tool of some kind, possibly a short borer? It measures 59.6x28.5x8mm and weighs 14.76g. The entire right dorsal edge has abrupt working, up to the proximal end which has a slight point extending. The upper left dorsal edge has a wide notch, semi-abruptly tooled. The lower left dorsal edge has a little light low working. the lower left ventral edge has additional low working, and semi abrupt working on the upper right edge behind the notch. The flint is light grey in colour with c.20% light patination.

Neolithic or Bronze Age flake, measuring 30.8x17.2x5.2mm and weighing 2.32g. The lower left dorsal edge has possible semi-abrubt working. However around all other edges there is damage, showing the same colour beneath the patination as the 'working'. The flint is 70% patinated, and the filnt beneath a buff colour.

Neolithic or Bronze Age flake, measuring 34.5x21.5x6.6mm and weighing 4.74g. The lower left dorsal edge has abrubt working at the proximal end. There appears to be two notches on the upper right and upper left edges, possible caused by being knocked, although there are some signs they have been worked intentionally. The flint is 50% patinated, and the flint beneath a dark/ buff colour.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Edge damaged flint flake from the the prehistoric period. It is roughly triangular in section and in plan. It is made from a grey flint. The dorsal face has a central ridge which is broken where the flint is notched. The ventral face is smooth although slight cnchoidal ripples can be seen. One long side of the flint has been broken and chipped, probably when it has been in the ground. This is likely to be a bi-polar flake which would explain the different fracture lines.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Irregular shaped flint blade / core rejuvenation flake of probable late Mesolithic date (6500BC - 3500BC). The flake is sub-rectangular in plan and broadly sub-triangular in cross section. The bulb of percussion is present on the reverse and 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 has been removed. There also no evidence of detailed retouch / reworking. It is most likely that this flake / blade has been struck from a relatively well developed core which has produced an o…

County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint flake with some abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch. The flake is 67.8mm long, 26.5mm wide and 8.7mm thick. There is abrupt retouch on the left side and some semi-abrupt retouch on the right. The distal end appears to have been worked slightly more invasively, possibly for use as a piercer. The flint is dark brown and opaque. This tool is difficult to date because it is not particularly diagnostic, but may be from the Mesolithic period.

Waste flake of good quality dark brown-black flint. The flake has evidence of platform preporation, There is a large bulb of percussion with some scaring on the proximal end of the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has scaring at the proximal end where previous flakes have been removed. The edges of the flake are damaged, most likely from post-depositional activity in the plough soil. The flake is 24.19mm long, 26.38mm wide and is 6.66mm thick across the bulb of percussion. It weighs 4.35 grams.

Waste flake knapped from good quality dark brown-black flint. The flint is semi-transparent where it is a slightly lighter brown in colour. There is a small bulb of percussion on the proximal end, with impact ripples extending down the complete length of the ventral surface to the distal end. There is scaring on the dorsal surface where a previous flake had been removed. One edge of the flake is covered in a natural mid-brown cortex. There is possibly some abrupt retouch on the distal end, however this may be damge from post-depositional activity on the plough soil. The flake is 46.73m…

Retouched flake knapped from good quality dark brown flint. There is a small bulb of percussion with bulb scars on the proximal end, with impact ripples extending down the complete length of the ventral surface to the distal end. Approximately 60% of the dorsal surface is covered in a natural brown coloured cortex. The distal end is covered in cortex, and there is a hinged fracture at the distal end of the ventral surface. The edge of the flake which is not covered in cortex has abrupt retouch along its length. The flake is 33.88mm long, 20.91mm wide, 3.65mm thick and weighs 4.04 grams…

Neolithic or Bronze Age flake, measuring 78.3x37.8x15.4mm and weighing 46.05g. There are no signs of working, but the edges have probably been bashed about in the soil as they are chipped.

Probably Neolithic flake measuring 35.2x15.9x4.1mm and weighing 3.16g. The flint is dark in colour with light patination spots (c.30%). The right dorsal edge is quite chipped and rough though this is probably accidental damage. The upper left ventral edge has been abruptly worked in a slight curve.
