Workflow stage: Published
A Prehistoric stone tool dating from the Mesolithic through to the Bronze Age, (10,000-700BC) although a later date is possible. The object is oval in plan and sub-oval cross-section. Due to uneven thickness it is trapezoidal in profile. One face has been deliberately smoothed to form a straight and even face which terminates with a rounded end. The opposite end is stepped with the tip unsmoothed. The opposite face has been worn down at the rounded end and slopes down sharply to where it terminates. The surface of the thickest part of the object on this face is undulating before the o…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small piece of flint of uncertain date. It is oval in plan and triangular in cross-section. The fragment has been water worn resulting in a gloss covering. This gloss makes the typical features of a struck flint very difficult to identify. The flint is a natural shape which occurs with broken fragments of flint, and it is not likely that it was decisively struck. The longest edge has been chipped. This may be due to ware while in the water or ice, however the fragment may also have been picked up and used at some stage. It has a toffee-brown patina.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small flint blade dating to the Mesolithic or the early Neolithic period. It is sub-oval in plan. One edge has a fine saw-like edge. This could be something that has happened in the soil since it was discarded in prehistory. However it is also possible to find this kind of thing in the early Neolithic due to working or human use. It has a yellowish-white patina.

Flint implement dating from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic period, (8300BC-2100BC). The object is sub-oval in plan and D-shaped in cross section. On one face of the object the cortex remains. The opposite face is covered in irregular facets. The pebble has been split in two, the force of which has probably caused the irregular breaks. It is however possible that the object was also utilised as a tool. The object is toffee brown in colour.

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…
