Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint lithic implement, a multi-purpose tool with a burin and a scraper, of broad Mesolithic date (9000 - 4000 BC). The flint is a mottled grey brown colour and is generally opaque but translucent at the edges. There is no patination. It is a secondary flake with a small area of cortex remaining on the distal end of the dorsal face. The flint is sub-oval shaped in plan with a sharp point at the distal end which was used as a burin. The flint is sub-triangular in section. There is short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt, soft hammer retouch to the left hand side which has been carried out fro…

County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint blade fragment, possibly a worn microlith of broad Mesolithic date, but more likely just a blade dating from 9000 - 4000 BC. The flint is cream coloured and is opaque. It is a tertiary flake and is sub-rhomboid shaped in plan and flat trapezoid in section with a single dorsal ridge. The form is very similar to a microlith but there is no observable retouch. It is 9.9mm long x 5mm wide x 1.2mm thick. Weight 0.06g.

Record ID: SWYOR-6EEDC2
Object type: BORER
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint borer, of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Neolithic (9000 - 2200 BC). The flint is a brown colour and is translucent. It is a tertiary flake and is roughly teardrop shaped in plan and flat elliptical in section. The flint has a sharp curved point at the distal end. This point has been produced by minimal short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt, soft hammer retouch to the left edge of the distal end carried out from the dorsal face. There is also edge damage, or possible very fine retouch on the right side at the proximal end. The flint is 30.2mm long x 14.5mm wide x 4.2mm thick. Weight 1.2g.
