County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic date, circa 7000 - 4000 BC. The implement is a piece of debitage, or waste material, produced during the knapping process. It is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-D-shaped in section. The bulb of percussion and striking platform no longer remain and the ventral surface is smooth though displays faint ripples of percussion. The dorsal surface is irregular with numerous flakes of varying sizes having been removed. A small notch is present on the right mesial edge along which abrupt retouch is present. The flint is a light greyish-brown …

Object type: PERFORATED OBJECT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete stone perforated object, dating to from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age (c.9,000-1,600 BC). The stone is broadly square in plan, but tapers slightly to a terminal with a worn break. A circular concave area is present on each side just before the break, resulting in the oval cross section narrowing at the centre. This suggests that the stone has been partially perforated. One indent has a dark brown patina on some areas. The other terminal is oval in cross section and also terminates in a worn break. Stuart Ogilvy (geologist) has looked at the stone and belives it is a s…
