Record ID: LVPL-A937CD
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core of Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. The object is conical with one platform at the top of the object and parallel striking down one face. Ripples are visible where one flake has been removed and at least four blades. On the opposite face an area of cortex remains to the side of which the core is a mottled blueish-white and yellow colour due to discolouration from the soil. Where the tools have been removed the flint core is a dark brownish grey colour. Dimensions: 73mm in length, 45mm in width, 22mm thick, 98.6g in weight

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lithic implement of prehistoric date. The object is triangular in plan and is a light creamy brown colour. Ron Cowell, Curator of Prehistoric Archaeology, Museum of Liverpool notes: Triangular piece of miscellaneous-type flint I haven't seen much of in the region. There is some possible working around the thinner butt end, with a vertical break on the reverse side removing where the bulb of percussion may have been. There are some longitudinal fine scars along the right hand side, although difficult to tell whether these were put on before the piece was removed from the nodule or…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A grey flint, possibly a naturally created blank but with signs of surface working at one edge, perhaps to aid holding or even hafting, and retouch and damage along the longer continuous edge. The object is sub-oval in plan and sub-triangular in cross section. The retouch along the long edge is short, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt. Dimensions: 30mm in length, 11mm in width, 11mm thick, 4.60g Ron Cowell, Curator of Prehistoric Archaeology, Museum of Liverpool notes: This suggests a cutting type tool which would fit most easily into the following technology. The flint belongs to…

County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large flint core of early Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. The core is cylindrical with one platform and parallel striking of narrow blades. One face of the object has narrower scars from blade removal while on the opposite face wider blades have been removed down the length of the core with shorter narrower blades removed from above (towards the striking platform) at a diagonal angle to the lower removals. The removed flints appear to have been blades. There is no visible sign of platform dressing. A strip of light cream cortex remains along the length of one side of the core…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tanged flake or scraper of prehistoric date. The flint is oval in plan and slightly curved in profile. Projecting from the base of the tool is a sub-rectangular tang. A small bulb of percussion is present on the ventral face. Each of the long edges have been retouched with short, parallel, low angle retouch. Some cortex remains on the distal end of both the dorsal (upper) and ventral (lower) face. The flint has a light yellowish brown patina. Dimensions: 40mm in length, 25mm of width, 6mm thick, 6.2g

Record ID: LVPL-C5F372
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake of prehistoric date. The flint is a pointed oval in plan and wedge shaped in cross-section. The flint is water-worn with a mottled light to toffee brown patina. Notches along the thin edge may be worked however the edge is damaged and it is therefore difficult to be certain. The thin long edge measures 1.5mm thick with the flint expanding in thickness to the other size at 9mm. Dimensions: 50mm in length, 20mm in with, 9mm thick, 7.8g.

A grey flint core of Mesolithic to Bronze age date. The core is sub-oval in plan and cylindrical with a blade removed from the dorsal (upper) face. There are no visible ripples on the ventral face which is rounded and water-worn. The flint has a dark blackish grey patina with lighter grey in places. It can be dated from c.10,000 - 700BC.

County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small lithic implement of uncertain date. The flint is sub-rectangular in plan and cross-section with an inverted triangular shaped profile. The ventral (lower) face is smooth with a few ripples and a low bulb of percussion. The dorsal (upper) face is faceted due to the removal of several possible blades. Short, parallel, low angled retouch can be seen along the shortest edge of the object. The flint is toffee-coloured. Dimensions: 12mm in length, 15mm in width, 4mm thick, 1.2g

Record ID: LVPL-AA7D76
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Published
A flint core dating to the Prehistoric period, (8300-800BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. On the dorsal face three parallel blades have been removed. A large bulb of percussion on the ventral face indicates that the object was struck with a hard hammer. At the proximal end the striking platform measures 18.22mm in width and is 6.33mm thick. The distal end is smooth and rounded. On the right hand side of the flint (looking at the dorsal face) is a short length of short semi-abrupt retouch. Towards the distal end and along the left hand e…
