Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Published
A chert probable borer of unknown date, probably Mesolithic to Neolithic, about 9000 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on dark grey chert. It is triangular in plan and trapezoidal in section. The boring point is formed at the distal left side of the flake. There is short, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch on the distal left side to shape the point, and a removal from the right side of the point to form the working edge. The tool is 34.4mm long, 27.1mm wide and 8.6mm thick. 6.25g.

Two chert cores probably dating from the Mesolithic or Early Neolithic periods, about 9000 BC - 3300 BC. 1. A flint cylindrical core with a single striking platforms from which mainly small, narrow blades have been removed. It is formed on dark grey chert. The core is sub-circular in section, and is sub-rectangular in plan. It is 30.8mm long, 21.1mm wide and 15.8mm thick. 9.54g. 2. A chert core with most of the removals from one striking platform, forming a pointed base. Most of the removals are small, narrow blades. It is formed on dark grey chert. The core is sub-rectangular i…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Published
A group of 11 pieces of flint debitage, the waste material from flint working. It is probably Mesolithic to Neolithic in date, about 9000 BC - 2200 BC. There are 5 blade fragments and the rest are flakes or chunks, of which 2 are chert. 4 flakes are secondary and 2 are tertiary. The blades are formed on light grey to tan coloured speckled low quality flint with some patination starting to form. The 2 chert flakes are dark grey with tan inclusions. The remaining flakes are formed on beter quality dark grey flint which is not patinated at all.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core rejuvenation flake of Mesolithic or Neolithic date, about 9000 BC - 2200 BC. The flake is formed on light grey mottled opaque flint with large white inclusions but no patination. The distal end and left side are battered. The flint is a rounded rectangle in plan and is D shaped in section. It is much thicker at the distal end. There are removals from the proximal end which are the ends of blade removals. They are from the dorsal face, stepped, long and abrupt. The battering damage has caused fractures and crazing of the stone. It is 50.9mm long, 36.4mm wide and 18.3mm thi…
