Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Seven (7) microliths, formed from snapped blades of probable Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). A number of the microliths have been formed from a section of blade which has been snapped obliquely to form a point - this creates a 'backed / blunted' microlith . All are broadly sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. All have been reworked with regular evenly spaced flakes. The colour of the flint ranges from a light grey to a dark bropwn colour. The largest microlith measures: 21.8mm length, 5.9mm width, is 1.8mm thick and weighs 0.27 grams. The smallest blade measures…

24 complete and snapped flint blades or bladlets of later Mesolithic date (6000BC - 3500BC). These blades are struck from a core and have the generic crested appearance on their dorsal faces. Many of the blades have been deliberately snapped through the removal of side notches and deliberate breaking. The underside / ventral face of each shows conchoidal rippling and some have evidence of bulb of percussion and / or striking platforms. All the blades have some form of retouch along their long edges - this is best described as being disorganised short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt which c…
