Record ID: YORYM-9051EC
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint abruptly blunted blade of Mesolithic date (7000-4000 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The distal left hand aspect of the dorsal surface has some retained cortex. The proximal end has been abruptly blunted and all other edges contain fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface retains a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end with ripples of percussion emanating from it. There are minor negative scars situated along the rig…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint Lithic implement of possible Mesolithic date (7000-4000 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in section and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises and retains a minor amount of cortex along the left hand edge. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted and all other edges have some semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly smooth with deep ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end. This lithic retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake. The f…
