Mesolithic blade, knapped from mid-grey flint. The blade is roughly rectangular in plan. It has evidence of platform preparation and has a bulb of percussion with some bulbar scaring. Previous flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface. The distal end has possible evidence of retouch, however this could be damage. It is 65.56mm long. 21.38mm wide, 6.53mm thick and weighs 9.0 grams.

Object type: BURIN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White patinated flint probable burin or borer. Tiny thin elongated concavo-convex curving flake with four long flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect, all converging towards a curved end, and a curving concave face where subsequently struck from the core by fine hard hammer working. The curved end preserves a faint bulb of percussion, suggesting this object was detached from the core by impact at this end after the other working had taken place. The other end was broken in antiquity, though not necessarily at the time of original working -unsurprising given the delicate nature of th…

An assembly of Mesolithic dating between c8300BC and c4500BC), milky white, translucent, flint microliths and microlithic debitage. The largest piece is only 8.5mm by 3.5mm, the smallest 4.5mm by 3mm. There are 10 fragments in total, some showing evidence of secondary working. They appear to be the result of the knapping or retouching of one tool, possibly while sheltering in the lee of the boulder by which they were found. Similar material has been found nearby in the same valley.1- 4.5mm x 4mm; 2- 7mm x 3mm; 3- 6.5mm x 3mm; 4- 7mm x 4mm; 5- 4.5mm x 4mm; 6- 5.5mm x 4.5mm; 7- 5mm x 4m…

A flint multi-purpose tool probably dating from the Mesolithic period. It combines a scraper and a burin. It is a sub-rectangular flake of milky gray tan flint. Retouch on the distal end of the left side forms the burin at the distal left corner. There are removals from both the dorsal and ventral faces here. The distal end of the right edge has been retouch with fine abrupt removals from the ventral face to form a scraping edge. There is also evidence of platform preparation.
