Flint debitage. Six tiny [of lengths between 24.5mm to 9.4mm] flakes with scars from the removal of narrow or parallel flakes from their dorsal sides, and with flat or bulbar ventral surfaces. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the objects have subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest their incorporation in gravel. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Combined Weight: 5.54gms

Probably mid-brown flint debitage. A thin flake with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side  and with a flat ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge. Fire-crazed overall. A creamy patina lost at a chip at one end [which reveals the tint of the flint] may suggest that the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment, and hence that it may have been imported to its find spot, which is not on chalk.

The flake is curved, with a small striking platform at the proximal end with a low bulbar scar suggesting soft-hammer removal. There are a number of parallel removal scars on the proximal half of the dorsal surface, including one which has resulted in a hinge fracture. A large patch of brown coloured cortex remains on the curved distal end.

Flint implement, possibly a double-sided scraper. While there is certainly retouch marks, there is nothing to suggest use-wear, although it certainly has the shape and appearance congruent with a Mesolithic bladed tool. There is no evidence of ripple marks on its ventral surface, which would suggest that it is not a primary flake. There are two patches of cortex on the object, both on its dorsal surface; one under the sharpened edge, on the left-hand side, and the other at the very top of the piece. As the cortex only accounts for c.20% of the piece, this tool was probably crafted fro…

There are multiple negative flake removals from blade production. The ventral surface is flat with two negative scars. All edges with the exception of the striking platform have rough semi-abrupt retouch and suggests the object is a utilised flake. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is dark grey in colour. Length: 32.30mm, Width: 28.53mm, Thickness: 9.66mm, Weight: 10.8g.

Incomplete, likely broken from a blade. The segment is 22.8 mm in length from the proximal end up to the point of breakage, which is marked by a clean break across the width. No cortex remains, and the blade segment is primarily a mid-to-light grey colour that is warm in tone. There appears to be some evidence of short retouching which, when facing the ventral side, appears as a serrated left edge and a possibly denticulate right edge. On the ventral face, there are conchoidal ripples visible which emanate from a small bulb of percussion.

It is a double-edged blade, whereby both long sides are sharpened, while the uppermost short side seems to be the tip of the blade. While the blade is incomplete, as Mesolithic blades are often rather small, it is likely that there is not much missing, and abrasion caused by its time spent in the sea may account for any loss of surface.

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small Mesolithic tranchet axehead made from a dark grey flint which has a heavily recorticated or patinated white surface resulting from prolonged exposure to calcareous sediments. The cross section is D shaped and asymmetrical with one curved long side refined with flaked removals and one flattened side which is less coherently worked and retains a small patch of cortex towards the rear. The shape of this flat side appears to be a response to the original form of the nodule rather than a deliberate attempt to back the blade; the cross section becomes more lenticular towards the…

Record ID: DENO-09F15E
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A blunted Mesolithic to Neolithic scraper, dating to c. 9000 - 1500 BC. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex section. The dorsal surface has three predominant negative scars. The proximal and distal ends have been blunted. The left- and right-hand edges have semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length 62.09 mm, width 22.59 mm, thickness 6.46 mm and weight 9.18 g.

Record ID: SWYOR-B63F3F
Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A  flint retouched blade of probable mesolithic date, 10,000 BC - 4000 BC. It is a tertiary blade of light grey flint which is partially patinated. There is short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch along both long edges as well as some larger removals which are probably post depositional damage. The narrower tip is a hinged termination. Measurements are; length 65.9mm, width 16.5mm, thickness 4.5mm and weight 4.54g.

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint microlith of Mesolithic date, c.7000-4000 BC. The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and distal edges have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth displaying ripples of percussion. The lithic retains a no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. Length: 14.3mm, Width: 12.6mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 0.2g. …

Object type: PERFORATED OBJECT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete perforated stone tool, possibly a mace head or pebble hammer, probably dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic date c.9000 BC- 2400 BC. A fine-ish grained [<0.5 mm] basic igneous rock of grey appearance. The object is broadly sub-oval in shape and sub-rectangular cross section with gentle concave sides. In the centre on both sides is a sub-oval perforation, bored into both sides, although the two recesses do not meet in the middle.  It is possible that this piece is a prehistoric stone tool, possibly unfinsihed, although a natu…

A group of flakes from knapping debris dating to the late Mesolithic to early Neolithic period (c.8000-3300 BC). The group consists of 12 blades of flint of various raw materials including boulder clay and one piee of chert. These objects are part of a collection of flints that have been recovered from three fields over a number of decades. The group includes arrowheads and flakes demonstrating the different phases of flint working. Objects from this group are recorded under the following PAS records: LVPL-F9B243; LVPL-F9F264; LVPL-FA0B6D;…
