Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (9000-2100 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars, the proximal and distal ends are abruptly blunted. The left- and right-hand edges have rough semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave due to single predominantly negative scar. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length: 38.12mm, Width: 14.82mm, Thickness: 10.62mm, Weight: 5.9g The flint is dark grey in colour with cream inclusions t…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A debitage flint blade fragment of Mesolithic date, 9000 BC - 4000 BC. The proximal end is a snapped break. The distal end is an oblique snapped break. There is a double dorsal ridge and the tertiary blade is formed on dark brown flint. Sporadic removals from the right edge are probably too erratic to be retouch and are more likely to be edge damage. The blade fragment is 18.3mm long, 15.5mm wide and 3.2mm thick. 1.2g.

An assemblage of worked flint from the same location but representing multiple periods of activity from the Mesolithic to Bronze Age periods. The assemblage was found in a spoil heap from building activity.  1.  A complete crudely struck tertiary flake with low bulb of percussion, shallow rippling and iron staining near the bulb. There are some crude removals at the distal edge which are probably damage rather than retouch. The flint is dark grey with creamy pale grey areas.
