Record ID: SUSS-DEF731
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint knapped flake, probably dating to either the Mesolithic or Neolithic period (8300-2100 BC). Although the platform is missing, there is a strong bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples present on the ventral surface. No signs of retouch or further knapping are visible to suggest that this flake was modified as a tool. It measures 35.37 mm long, 22.75 mm wide, 4.83 mm thick and weighs 6.99 grams.

Record ID: SUSS-67EF94
Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and partially knapped Mesolithic flint object, probably an adze, but possibly a large core (c. 8300-3500 BC). The remains of the object consist of what looks like the butt-end of an adze and possibly a third to a half of the small adze body; it has been knapped on all sides with long blade removals and smaller removals near to the butt. It is missing a portion of its body and potentially its cutting edge; a tranchet or lateral flake cannot be identified to confirm this object as a tranchet adze, as it would appear on the blade end, now missing. Typical to adzes of this…

Record ID: SUSS-C667B4
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A nearly complete flint knapped blade fashioned into a side scraper, probably dating to the Mesolithic period. The implement is knapped from medium brown translucent flint with some darker natural inclusions; a small area of opaque grey chert is visible on the ventral surface. Approximately 90% of the dorsal face is covered in chalky white-grey cortex and the scraping edge has been retouched with pressure flaking as well as light retouch to facilitate handling on the other lateral edge. The small bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples are visible on the ventral face, although corte…
