Record ID: DOR-C248B6
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A small flint blade. Made on an elongate secondary flake with a patch of pebble cortex on the dorsal face. Distal end has been snapped off, removing the bulb of percussion. There are waves of percussion on the ventral face. There are four longitudinal flaking scars on the dorsal surface, all with marked waves of percussion, indicating the probable use of indirect percussion for flake removal (concentrating the force at a point to make a more precise removal). The blade has a trapeziodal cross section: Date: Neolithic - c. 3500 - 2500 BC Dimensions: 47 mm x 15 mm x 5 mm Weight: 5 g

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Part of a knapped flint tertiary blade struck from a core. The proximal end with a prepared platform remains, the rest is snapped away; there is no evidence of deliberate snapping. The bulb of percussion and percussion waves are visible on the ventral face. Multiple blades have been removed from the dorsal face. There is slight chipping down both sides on both faces, possibly from use. Single struck flints are hard to date precisely but the proportions may suggests a Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). It is 40.6mm long, 21.3mm wide and 5.7mm thick; it weighs 5.21 grams.

A tertiary flint blade with bulb-of-percussion and percussion waves on the ventral face and multiple parallel arises from previous removals on the dorsal face. The striking platform has been lost to a chip and there are several other small chips on both edges. The distal end has evidence of abrupt scalar retouch on the distal face, possibly to snap the blade at this point. Tiny retouch/use-wear continues right to the bottom of this slightly concave distal end, suggesting it was utilised as a tool in this form. It is 41.9mm long, 19.3mm wide, 5.9mm thick and weighs 6.29 grams. Althou…

A flint blade, a waste flake from flint knapping. The blade is carefully shaped and may be an abandoned perform for a tool. It probably dates from the Neolithic. It is 21.08mm long, 11.33mm wide and 2.82mm thick. It weighs 0.7g. The flint is patinated to a milky colour and has edge damage which is probably post depositional.

A probable knapped flint blade of Neolithic date. The artefact is sub-rectangular with a rounded proximal end. The bulb of percussion is quite pronounced on the ventral face, with a bulbar scar above. The dorsal face features three main long removals. The distal end is quite abrupt and retains cortex. It appears that the fine retouch belongs to the sides, one of which is notably straight. The flake curves in profile. It is of a variable grey colour with some off-white patches.

Struck flint blade of probable earlier Neolithic date (3500-2900 BC). The blade is sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section, the upper, dorsal, face has a series of longitudinal flake scars, whilst the reverse is plain and flat with evidence of conchoidal ripples. The bulb of percussion on the ventral face is lost and the edge is snapped suggesting the blade would have originally been longer. The two long edges on the dorsal face have significant areas of retouch; this is relatively fine and suggests secondary pressure flaking to create a fine regular serrated edge. The end…

A flint blade. A tertiary flake of mid grey-flint with a low-gloss patina. There is a small striking platform at the proximal end. On the ventral face is a well-defined bulb of percussion and several waves. On the dorsal face are several elongate, parallel flaking scars creating a trapeziodal cross section. There is edge-gloss along part of one long edge on the ventral face, probably from use of the blade. Date: Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Dimensions: 52 mm x 23 mm x 7 mm Weight: 10 g

A possible knapped flint Neolithic blade or fabricator. The flint is a mottled red/brown colour. In plan the blade is an sub elongated pointed oval. The dorsal surface has two linear negative scars with run the length of the blade. Both terminals are slightly rounded, which appears to be due to wear. Both side edges have re-touch, however one edge also shows signs of more recent damage. The ventral surface also has re-touch and flaking which covers more of the surface, particularly at the terminals, compared to the dorsal surface. In section the blade is a sub-triangle. It measures 58.…

A piece of flint that is possibly a worked blade from the Neolithic period. The flint is partly cortical and partially patinated on the left half of the dorsal face and on the ventral surface. It is 39.8mm long, 20.3mm wide and 8.1mm thick. It weighs 7g. There is a clear striking platform. There appears to be some short and abrupt retouch on the distal left side but other removals round the edge may be natural. All the edge removals interrupt the patina.

A flint blade which may be Neolithic in date. The blade is sub-rectangular in plan and is partly cortical. It probably comes from a double ended core because the dorsal surface exhibits scars where flakes were removed from both directions leaving a stepped raised area in the centre. It is 37.9mm long, 12.9mm wide and 5.5mm thick. It weighs 2.8g. The right side is cortical but on the left side there are denticulated removals worked from both faces. These interrupt the faint patina on the ventral face.

A probable knapped flint serrated blade or denticulate. The blade appears to have been formed from a flake which developed a patina, and the one lateral edge has been re-touched forming notches (denticulations). The flake is an elongated triangle in plan, with the proximal terminal missing. The ventral and dorsal surfaces have developed a light grey/brown coloured patina. However the break at the proximal terminal and the re-touching on the lateral edge of the dorsal surface reveals a mid brown coloured flint. The blade weighs 4.6g. The blade is probably early Neolithic (-3500 to -…

Flint blade or knife flake, lozenge-shaped in plan and section and semi-circular in profile. The proximal end and lateral margins have been bifacially retouched. Towards the distal end of the dorsal face, running along the left edge, are the remains of a strip of cortex, suggesting that this is a secondary flake. The dorsal face preserves an area of smooth conchoidal fractures rippling away from the proximal end. The flint is a mottled light to dark gray colour, probably made from a local beach pebble, and the length to breadth ratio is about 2:1. Bond il…

The blade has been knapped from a opaque mid brown coloured flint, which has developed a light grey/blue coloured patina. The blade is not quite complete, the proximal end is missing, therefore the unpatinated flint is visible. The blade is sub-trapezoidal shape in section. There are negative flake scars on the dorsal surface. The length of the blade is 53.9mm long, 16.9mm wide and 4.7mm wide. It weighs 4.14g. The blade probably dates to the Neolithic period.

A flint blade dating from the late Neolithic period, 2500-2100BC. The blade has an exaggerated 'hinge fracture' leading to an unusual groove in the end of the blade. This happens when the core is hit with too much force and too far from the edge of the platform. The blade has two cutting edges and the end looks as though it may have had some use too, as it is retouched. The edges have some damage, probably through use as a cutting implement. The flint is mid-grey in colour. It is 38.48mm long, 17.05mm wide and 6.3mm thick. It weighs 5.28gm.

A flint blade dating from the Late Neolithic period, 2500-2100BC. It is triangular in section with a central rib down the dorsal face. There is (micro) retouch along both edges of the blade, creating a slightly denticulated edge suitable for use as a cutting knife, and around the rounded distal end (this part of the blade may have had a dual purpose as a small scraper). On the ventral (lower) face there is a pronounced bulb of percussion but no retouching. The tool is well made and finished; it measures 44.65mm in length, 18.79mm in width, 5.22mm in thickness and weighs 5.3g.
