Cream coloured opaque flint with rust staining from gravel, serrated implement. A thin flake with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly concave ventral surface with a tiny bulb at its [stained] end. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge. Save for the retouch, very similar to debitage flakes NLM-37A5B1. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Length: 38.6mm, Width: 15.7mm, Thickness: 3.4mm, Weight: 2.32gms

Flint with cortex spot serrated implement. Flake with long broad and narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly concave ventral surface with a bulb at one end. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the longest edge, leaving about 6 notches per centimetre. Dense white patina suggests the flake has subsequently endured long exposure to a calcareous environment.

Pale honey-coloured semi-translucent flint, serrated implement. A small narrow thin flake with long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side by unidirectional working from a small platform at one end; a bulb appears adjacent on the ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge, producing fine serrations which are more readily felt than observed. The lack of subsequent patination may hint that the object was subsequently incorporated into a sealed deposit. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Length: 27.7mm, Wid…

Grey-brown flint with cortex strip, serrated implement. S flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long straight edge, producing fine serrations which are more readily felt than observed. Very short abrupt retouch also follows both part of the lower [as illustrated] edge of the opposite long side, and also the narrower end between the two long edges. The lack of patina may suggest it was subsequently incorporated into a sealed context. Suggested date: Early Neo…

Dark grey flint serrated implement. A thick oval flake with two broad flakes struck from its dorsal side, and with a bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge, providing tiny serrations which are more readily felt than observed, and may continue across the adjacent rounded end.

Flint probable serrated implement. A thin triangular flake with possibly reformed cortex trimmed from its dorsal side along one straight edge, a bulbar ventral surface, and with subsequent short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect producing serrations spaced at c.5 per cm along that edge.

Grey flint with cortex, serrated implement. A small flake with long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of the ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge, producing tiny pointed teeth, c.5 per cm. Cortex is retained along the opposite edge, perhaps enabling pressure to be brought to bear on the cutting edge. Patches of misty patina on struck surfaces suggest the object has endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC. Length: 24.…

Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge, producing serrations so fine they are more easily felt than observed.

Grey flint with cortex serrated implement. Flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a flat ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge; one end of this cutting edge may be lost to a break incurred in antiquity. The opposite edge bears a longer extent of apparent retouch, though much of this appears to arise from fortuitous impacts along that edge. A milky patina indicates the object was exposed to a calcareous environment after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 51mm, Width: …

Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge which, perhaps from use, is denticulated at one end. Damage along the opposite long edge appears likely to have arisen from impact damage. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 54.5mm, Width: 21.4mm, Thickness: 7.5mm, Weight: 7.92gms

Black flint with cortex, serrated implement. Sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from both sides by hard hammer working, and with very short abrupt retouch executed from one side to produce a finely serrated curved cutting edge; cortex is retained along the opposite edge to permit pressure to be brought to bear when using the tool.

Grey flint possible serrated implement fragment. Long flake with three long narrow parallel bladelets struck from its dorsal side and with a flat ventral surface. Very fine serrations, more easily felt than observed, run along both long edges. The object is broken at its wider end, probably in antiquity, as dense white patina has accumulated overall, suggesting it endured prolonged exposure after its breakage and deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC. Length: 24.9mm, Width: 12.6mm, Thickness: 6.9mm, Weight: 1.74gms.

Dark grey flint with cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, serrated implement. Sub-ovoid flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at the butt end of its ventral surface. Very fine abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows two converging curving edges, while a limited patch of invasive scalar retouch also executed from the dorsal aspect trims cortex at the butt end, presumably to improve a comfortable grip. The complete lack of patina may suggest the object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested d…
