A complete worked flint hand tool of probable Mesolithic date (c.10,000-4,000BC) Description: The object is broadly rectangular in plan and oval in cross section. It has been produced from a secondary flake of dark grey flint with white patches and flecks as well as some translucent brown areas, on the dorsal face there are also some small areas of cortex with small iron deposits visible. The ventral face has invasive, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch on its surface and a possible striking platform at the proximal end. The dorsal face …

A complete Mesolithic flint implement, dating to c. 8000 BC - 4000 BC. The implement has been made from a secondary flake, 20% of the dorsal face is covered with an area of cream/brown cortex. The flint is dark brown. One lateral edge modified by denticulations made by semi-abrupt retouch along approximately half its length. Both the distal and proximal  ends are truncated by abrupt retouch at right angles to the axis of the blank.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A worked flint fragment, 41.5mm in length, which is narrow and tapers to a point. One side is curved with parallel removal scars; the other side comprises three facets in a trapezoidal arrangment giving the whole a thick lozengiform cross section. The proximal end appears to have broken and there is no apparent retouch. Possibly a piercing tool and of Mesolithic or later date.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete flnt lithic implement of probable Melithic to Neolithic date (c. 9000 BC - 2100 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and slightly curved. The cross-section is D-shaped with a distinct point off-centre on the dorsal face, suggesting this object was a core with up to four flake removals surrounding. The left and right edges show potential abrupt retouch (as noted by the finder) suggesting subsequent use as a scraper. The object was struck from a secondary flint flake and the object is opaque grey with white patination. Cortex has been noted by the finder on the…
