Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint microlith of Mesolithic date, c.7000-4000 BC. The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and distal edges have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth displaying ripples of percussion. The lithic retains a no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. Length: 14.3mm, Width: 12.6mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 0.2g. …

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, circa 7000 - 2300 BC. The implement is likely a scraper formed from a secondary flake which is sub-trapezoidal in plan and ovate in section. The ventral surface displays sub-parallel removals to one side and edge. The dorsal surface has an inward curved upper edge which displays short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch. An irregular patch of cortex is retained. The flint is a mid-brown colour. The implement is 19.4mm long, 17.5mm wide, 4mm thick and weighs 1.9g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are…

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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 …

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped lithic implement of possible Mesolithic date, c.7000 - 4000 BC. The implement is a flint microlith formed of a tertiary flake which is sub-rectangular in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is smooth and flat. The dorsal surface has a prominent ridge and displays short, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch along the edges. The tip of the object appears to be lost, either through retouch, use-wear or post-depositional damage. The flint is mid-grey in colour. The implement is 31.11mm long, 15.07mm wide, 4.76mm thick and weighs 2.09g. Microliths are…
