Record ID: PUBLIC-2B64C6
Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
A microlith formed on a bladelet of grey brown flint. The left margin has been abruptly retouched and blunted along its length forming a point at the distal end. The right margin is unretouched and sharp with a small natural nick in the edge. It may have been hafted with the blunt edge set with resin into a groove in a wood or bone tool. Butler(2005) illustrates a small lanceolate piece on page 101, fig 39, 14.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A worked Mesolithic flint tranchet axe formed from a grey flint with stained/patinated mottled white to brown surfaces. It is plano-convex in form and of tranchet type, both faces having all over flake removal and edge retouch. One side has a marked, ridged back and the cutting edge is convex in form with flake removal and edge retouch. The butt end has a small area of cortex remaining. The entire axe measures 122.83mm in length, 48.20mm in width, 30.75mm in thickness and 202.39g in weight. It dates to the Mesolithic period, c.8,300-4,500 BC.

Record ID: PUBLIC-CAA8F6
Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
A bladelet of opaque cream flint worked abruptly from one side on its edges so that the original blade plan is unidentified but for the remaining dorsal ridge. One end is raggedly broken and this may have been damage from its use. The lateral margins are straight and parallel with an oblique distal truncation from the left, also finished abruptly .Butler(2005) illustrates a tool like this, described as a scalene triangle microlith on page 101, fig 39, 3.

Record ID: PUBLIC-F0FA11
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
Triangular shaped piece of off cream coloured flint. Shaped like an arrowhead, this piece exhibits several negative scars on the dorsal face, one in the medial at the proximal edge, described by the finder as a possible hafting point. The left margin appears to have been subject to retouch along its lower edge, which appears thick and more consistent with a scraper edge. The distal edge terminates as a point, while the right side of the distal point the margin is thin and more blade like in appearance, this becomes thicker as the right margin reaches the media. The proximal edge i…
