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…

Object type: PESTLE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Wirral
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…
