Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Late Mesolithic - Neolithic flint knapped blade (6500-2100 BC). The blade is triangular in cross-section with a sharp central ridge and mesial edges, which seem to not be retouched save for two extremely small areas. The bulb of percussion is intact, along with ripples of percussion. The proximal dorsal face seems to have had some microlithic removals suggesting that this blade is possibly Mesolithic in date rather than Neolithic. The distal edge is wider and difficult to interpret as the distal end seems to have been truncated using a hinge fracture, but there are further facets…

Mesolithic or possibly Neolithic (-8300 to -2100) probable core: The core is knapped from a mottled light to mid grey knapped flint. The core has multiple negative scars cover its surface. There are areas of fine occasional crazing, but doesn't seem enough to due to burning. The core weighs 17.8g and measures 31.13mm long and 26.88mm wide. This core, probably dates to the Mesolithic period, and possibly to the Neolithic period (-8300 to -2100).
