Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Gloucestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
~~Core rejuvenation flake that has four long thing removal scars, possibly from blades, each has a negative bulb of percussion at its top edge. On the reverse is a large bulb of percussion. The flint is covered in a creamy speckled grey patina. This is probably a core rejuvenation flake from the top of a blade/bladelet core.

Object type: BURIN
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with grey cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, burin, as kindly identified by the finder, who is informed on this point by the kind advice of Bill Bee. A thin sub-triangular flake with flakes removed from one side of the dorsal face by hard hammer strike, and with a bulb at one corner of the ventral side. Two long narrow parallel flakes were removed by pressure flaking from the dorsal aspect, defining one side of a tiny projecting point. The other side of the point is marked by very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect. Misty patina which has dev…

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint tranchet axehead. A thick oval flake with broad flakes removed from both sides by probably unidirectional hard hammer working; these included an angled blow removing a broad flake from one end, with localised evidence for light battering immediately adjacent. The resultant section is of an angular oval form. A dense buff patina suggests the object has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment, while extensive orange staining might point either to its incorporation in gravel or to the underlying tint of the flint - which is uncertain. The discolouration points to an …

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale brown flint lithic implement. A thick long flake with long parallel narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side, and with an undulating ventral surface with small bulb and platform at one end. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge and follows it round to a rounded end. Handling the object might suggest it was intended for a left-handed user, or as a combined scraper and serrated implement, the former appearing at the rounded end. Creamy patina suggests the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment after its deposition. Suggested da…

Record ID: NLM-5E0F77
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper. Oval flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral surface towards the butt. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge. A dense creamy patina with roughened areas suggests the object has endured long exposure to a calcareous environment. The finder kindly suggests the thickness and character of the coating may point to an earlier Mesolithic date. Suggested date: Early Mesolithic, 10,000-7000 BC Length: 40.4mm, Width: 38.9mm, Thickness: 12.5mm, Weight: 21.91gms

An incomplete flint Core of Mesolithic date 9000-4000 BC. The object is a blade core. It is rectangular with one damaged striking platform, the other end narrows. The dorsal surface has approximately 50% of the cortex remaining There are four predominant negative scars. One of the scars resulted in a hinged flake removal toward the distal end. The scars are long and parallel with a sub-rectangular plan. The flint is a dark grey to black in colour. The cortex is light brown. The core measures 47.7mm long, 31.8mm wide, 17.3mm thick and it weighs 32.52 grams.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic (Early) to Mesolithic (Later) microlith, 13mm long, 5mm wide, 1mm thick and 0g in weight. Tiny bladelet that has been snapped to form a microlith. The distal end is missing and the dorsal face possesses one central and parallel ridge which was created by two previous unidirectional bladelet removals. The flint is translucent and a light bluish grey, presumably through patination.
