Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint retouched blade of probable Mesolithic date, dating from about 9000 BC - 4000 BC. The flint is a tertiary flake, is honey coloured, opaque and has some patination. It is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in section. There is some short, parallel, abrupt soft hammer retouch to two small sections of the right hand side long edge and to the distal end, also on the right side. It is 49.1mm long x 12.1mm width x 4.5mm thick. Weight 2.1g.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A group of 33 pieces of flint debitage, the waste material from flint working. The debitage pieces probably range from early Mesolithic to early Bronze Age in date, about 9000 BC - 2200 BC. They are all either flakes or chunks, of which 1 is chert. 2 flakes are secondary and the rest are tertiary. The colour of the flint debitage ranges from brown/grey to white. The lighter flints have varying degrees of patination. 4 flakes show evidence of being burnt through crazed cracking to their surfaces. These are shown in image 1 column B row 3, column C row 3, and in image 2 c…

Record ID: SWYOR-BE6717
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake of unknown date; debitage or waste material from flint working. The flint is a primary flake with the dorsal face being covered in cortex. The exposed flint on the ventral face is brown in colour with a small patch of white; probably an inclusion. The flint shows evidence of stress, probably from pressure or crushing creating crazed cracking to the ventral face and jagged fracturing. It is sub-oval in plan and crescent-shaped in section. There appears to be no evidence of retouch. It is 23.9mm long x 28.5mm wide x 7.6mm thick. Weight 4.4g.
