Record ID: BH-63B357
Object type: FLAKE

Record ID: ESS-633FBE
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lithic flake implement of probable Bronze Age date c. 2500 - 800BC.
The implement is composed of dark grey flint with mottled light grey inclusions.
The flake is irregularly shaped and was knapped from a larger core or nodule. Despite the long edge being thin and sharp, there is limited evidence of retouch along the edge which would suggest refinement of the working edge.
The flake was likely knapped via hard hammer technique as the curving fracture scar on the ventral face suggests that it was removed with significant force and perhaps with limited precision.
There is evi…

Record ID: PUBLIC-5FE8F5
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Prehistoric core, a worked nodule of black/brown flint, with some original cortex remaining. The nodule is irregularly shaped and shows evidence of having been worked from different angles at widely spaced intervals, as some of the worked facets have recorticated and some haven't. Some of the removals are of narrow bladelets and are probably Mesolithic in date, but it has probably been reworked in the Neolithic, or possibly the Bronze age.
Maximum length 91.5mm, width 63.5mm, thickness 41.0mm; mass 234g.

Record ID: PUBLIC-5EFB75
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Prehistoric snapped blade formed on a secondary flake of mottled black/brown flint. It is triangular in plan, and the tip and base edges both show abrupt retouch. There is cortex remaining along the central facet of the trapezoid sectioned dorsal face and ripple marks on the slightly curved ventral side. There is a notch halfway along one side which appears to be intentional.
Possibly intended as a plano-convex knife, but maybe reworked to be used as a scraper.
Length 36.4 mm, width 21.8 mm, thickness 7.1 mm, mass 5.8 g.
