Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unpatinated long flint flake of possible Upper Palaeolithic or Mesolithic date. It is triangular in section and struck from a dark brown flint with some cortex remaining on one side of the dorsal face. The dorsal face has parallel flake or blade scars and limited but careful edge retouch particularly at the proximal end. It measures 80.50mm in length, 38.03mm in width, 18.66mm in thickness and 49.46g in weight. This is a struck flint flake of probable Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic date, c.40,000-4,500 BC.

Secondary, hard hammer struck flake, of black and grey flint, now lightly patininated orange and white, the edges are broken at a steep angle resembling retouch, though this is later damage as they lack the same degree of patination. Three large flakes have been previously removed to the dorsal face, one overlaps another and looks like part of the same flake scar. The wide platform has four incipient cones of percussion from trying to remove this flake, the last one (very close to a previous blow) clearly "did the job". Thin, weathered cortex is extant to the distal end of the dorsal …

Secondary, sub-trapezoidal sectioned, hard hammer struck flake, in fresh condition but patinated brown with iron oxide concretions to the ventral face. The distal end and right lateral side (when viewed with from the dorsal face with the platform uppermost) is formed by original thermal (frost) fractures from the core. The left lateral edge is a hinged flake scar, the central face on this side appears to be a bi-polar flake scar, possibly produced by the anvil technique?  The slightly hooked distal edge (edge angle circa. 75 degrees) has fine use wear along its length with tiny fl…
