Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic (Early) to Neolithic (Later) unretouched blade, 42mm long, 20mm wide, 8mm thick and 7g in weight. Made on a flint that has turned completely light grey and opaque through patination. The dorsal face possesses a parallel ridge created by unidirectioanl flaking. The flint/chert is of poor quality evidenced by the butt shattering upon striking.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic (Early) to Neolithic (Later) unretouched blade, 25mm long, 12mm wide, 3mm thick and 1.3g in weight. Made on a translucent light caramel brown flint this unretouched blade has been struck from the early stages of a blade core. The proximal end is missing, either by breaking during knapping, use or post-depositionally. The dorsal face is mostly cortical apart from a straight and parallel ridge running down the left lateral side of the blade producting a long blade-like flake scar.
