A complete flint core rejuvenation flake from the Mesolithic period, dating from 9000-4300 BC. The flint is a long triangular shape. On the dorsal face there are conchoidal ripple marks running up the flint. These are weak suggesting that a soft hammer was used. On the proximal end is a small striking platform. There is a small bulb of percussion on the ventral face. The retouch is short, scaled and abrupt along one edge of the distal end. The flint is a pale grey and brown colour, with patches of white across the surface. The flint measures 38.1mm in length, 15.9mm in width, 6.5mm…

A tertiary flint blade flake produced during the process of lithic reduction. The flake is sub-rectangular with a triangular cross-section. The flint is semi-opaque and off-white in colour with a low-gloss patina. The dorsal face shows removal scars of long parallel blade flakes. The ventral face is smooth and has no apparent bulb of percussion indicating probable use of a soft hammer. Date: Early Neolithic - 4000 BC to 3300 BC. Dimensions: 36.7mm x 19.03mm x 6.48mm. Weight: 5.21g.

A tertiary waste flint blade flake produced during the process of lithic reduction. The flake is sub-triangular with a trapezoidal cross-section. The flint is semi-translucent and mid-brown with a mid-gloss patina. The dorsal face shows removal scars of small, narrow parallel blade flakes.The ventral face has a prominent bulb of percussion, bulbar scar and diffuse ripples indicating probable use of a hard hammer. Date: Late Mesolithic to Neolithic - 6500 BC to 2200 BC. Dimensions: 37.63mm x 24.09mm x 7.31mm. Weight: 5.82g.

A secondary waste flint blade flake produced during the process of lithic reduction. The flake is sub-triangular with a small amount of cortex remaining across the proximal end.The flint is semi-translucent and mid-brown with a mid-gloss patina. The dorsal face shows removal scars of long parallel blade flakes. The ventral face also has blade removal scars, there is no apparent bulb of percussion indicating probable use of a soft hammer. Date: Neolithic to Early Bronze Age - 4000 BC to 1600 BC. Dimensions: 41.16mm x 17.1mm x 5.2mm. Weight: 5.55g.

A tertiary waste flint blade flake produced during the process of lithic reduction. The flake is sub-rectangular with a triangular cross-section, a small amount of cortex remains to the right side margin of the dorsal face.The flint is semi-trancslucent and creamy light brown with a low-gloss patina, approximately 60% of the dorsal face surface is now covered in a smooth off-white re-cortification, the distal end has an area of thicker white re-cortification. The dorsal face shows removal scars of long parallel blade flakes.The ventral face has a fairly prominent bulb of percussion in…

A secondary flint waste flake produced in the process of lithic reduction. The flake is sub-oval with a small amount of cortex remaining on the distal end margin.The flint is mid-brown and semi-translucent with a mid-gloss patina. The dorsal face shows removal scars of broad flakes emanating from the proximal end and left side margin, all with strong ripples. The ventral face has a prominent bulb of percussion, bulbar scar and strong rippling across the whole face indicating probable use of a hard hammer.
