A serrated flint implement, likely of Early Neolithic date, c. 4000 - 3300 BC. Description: The object is a serrated blade, broadly rectangular in plan and triangular in section. The ventral face has a clear striking platform and parallel blade removal down its surface. Along the right-side edge of the ventral face is short stepped low-angle retouch, possibly achieved using a soft hammer. The dorsal face is smooth with only conchoidal rippling. The object is opaque and patinated blue and grey, possibly an indication of being in alluvial deposits. Measurements…

A complete knapped lithic implement of early Neolithic date, c. 4000 - 3500 BC. The object is a serrated blade or saw which is broadly rectangular in plan and triangular in section. The ventral surface is smooth with subtle ripples of percussion. One edge of the dorsal surface has been finely and steeply retouched to create a saw tooth serrated edge along the entire length. The other edge features very limited short, scaled, low angle retouch from the ventral face. The top of the implement features a horizontal break. The flint is a dark orange&…

A complete knapped lithic implement of possible Mesolithic to early Neolithic date, c. 7000 - 3500 BC. The object is a serrated blade or saw which is broadly oval in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is smooth with visible ripples of percussion. Both edges of the dorsal surface feature short, stepped, low-angle retouch which create saw tooth serrated edges along the entire length. The flint is an orange-brown colour with occasional lighter and darker inclusions. The lack of pebble cortex suggests that this object was formed from …

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.

Pale brown flint serrated implement. A sub-rectangular flake with broad and narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of a slightly concave ventral surface.  Very fine serrations, more readily felt than observed, follow one long straight edge. A dense creamy patina then developed overall, suggesting a prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. This was interrupted by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect to follow part of that long edge opposite the serrated one, forming a robust and now slightly concave cutting edge. Suggest…

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.

Grey flint with cortex strip, serrated implement. A sub-triangular flake with broad and narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side, and with a bulbar ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect forms a finely serrated cutting edge on one side of the triangular point. The retention of a cortex strip at the butt may have helped pressure to be brought to bear on the serrated edge. It has, however, sustained no perceptible damage during use, if indeed it ever was used. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 35.6mm, Width: 32.7mm, Thickness: 7.5m…

Probable Mesolithic to early Neolithic (-9000 to -2900) serrated blade or denticulate: The knapped mid grey/brown mottled coloured flint artefact appears to have been formed from a flake which is triangular in section. One lateral edge has been re-touched forming very small notches (denticulations), mainly knapped from the dorsal surface. The other lateral edge has fine serrations. The tip, distal end , is slightly truncated due to re-touch on the dorsal surface. The blade weighs 3.23g and measures 41.16mm long, 15.22mm wide and 6.25mm thick. The blade is probably Mesolithic to e…

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. Dense patches of misty patina may suggest the subsequent exposure of the object to a calcareous environment.

A flint serrated blade dating from the early Mesolithic to Early Neolithic, about 9000 BC - 3300 BC. It is formed on a secondary blade of opaque (possibly partially patinated) pinkish brown flint. There is cortex along the left side of the dorsal face. There is a hinged termination at the distal end, and a concave end at the proximal end, so the striking platform is missing. The right edge has short, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch forming fine notches, with 6 teeth per centimetre. It is 52.4mm long, 21.8mm wide, 5.6mm thick and 7.4g. It was found snapped into two pieces which clear…

Flint serrated implement dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic. This is on a tertiary flake with two arises on the dorsal and a low bulb of percussion on the ventral. There are fine, abrupt and short retouch running down the length of the left side, plus a possible inverse retouched notch at the top of the right side. This is a brown flint with lighter mottling.

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.
