A possible microdenticulate, probably of Mesolithic or Neolithic date, c. 11,000-2600 BC. Part of a larger assemblage of flint, see also: WILT-19B371; WILT-196E52; WILT-1940B2; WILT-19212E; WILT-185746; WILT-17D77C; WILT-17714B. A bladelet of grey-brown flint with a diffuse bulb of percussion and the distal end lost to a break. Fine retouch has created a possible serated edge along the right edge of the dorsal face, with this partically destroyed by short, semi-abrubt retouch creating a shallow indentation, potentially related to microlith production. Length 28.6mm; Width 1…

A piece of flint debitage of Mesolithic date (c. 10,000 - 4000 BC) in the form of a bladelet. The blade is struck off a tertiary flake and retains none of its original cortex. The dorsal surface exhibits three negative flake scars from previous blade removal, which give the bladelet a triangular cross section. The ventral surface exhibits a very low bulb of percussion and faint conchoidal ripple marks. There is no evidence of retouch. The bladelet has been recorticated due to long term burial in a chalk environment, and is white-grey in colour. The piece of debitage measures 37.…
