Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint Mesolithic core rejuvenation flake, dating from 8000 BC - 4000 BC, which has been reused in the late Mesolithic as a core, and at a later date as a scraper. The core rejuvenation flake is light grey flint and is sub-circular in plan. The dorsal face is covered with removal scars which produced small flakes and blades. The distal end appears to have been a striking platform. The ventral face of the core rejuvenation flake was then used as a core itself, to produce narrow blades, which are struck from the distal end. Finally, the core was reused at a later date in either the Lat…

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint retouched flake of probable early Neolithic date, about 4000 BC - 3300 BC. The tertiary flake is formed on reddish tan flint with some white inclusions. It is sub-oval in plan and pointed oval in cross section with a single dorsal ridge. The flake is very thin, but has short, abrupt, parallel retouch on all sides. This was pressure flaked. A notch on the right side may have been an attempt at a denticulate, and the notch has also been retouched. The flake is 36.7mm long, 25.1mm wide and 4.6mm thick. 3g.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint lithic implement probably dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (3300 BC - 1000 BC). It is formed on a heat altered and crazed piece of flint, with some pot lid fractures on one face. It is oval in plan, but broken at one end, and a pointed oval in cross-section. There is invasive, scaled, low-angle retouch on both faces. This originally suggested use as an arrowhead, but the rounded end is not typical of arrowheads (Dodds 1/5/18 pers. comm.). The tool is thought to be been hafted and use as a thin scraper or knife is suggested. The flint tool is 21.3mm long, 16.7…

A flint borer of probably Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date, about 4000 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on the distal end of a thick flake of golden brown flint and is trapezoidal in plan, with a convex longest edge at the distal end. The corner at each end of the long curved edge has been worked to form a point for boring holes. The dorsal face is two previous removal scars. The distal right side and the right distal end have been retouched with short, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel removals. Another removal perpendicular to the tip produces a square working edge. At the left side are three r…

A piece of soft but well bedded limestone, apparently natural, but recorded because it is an "exotic" stone, not naturally occuring in the findspot area. It is sub-rectangular in plan and section. The edges are soft and rounded and there are some areas of pitting where there are small holes, probably caused by softer elements in the stone disolving. It has been suggested to be a hammerstone, but doubts have been cast on whether the stone is hard or strong enough for this purpose. Its prescence in the area may be related to the building of the nearby reservoir. It is 98mm long, 31.6mm …
