Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint worked flake of Mesolithic date (9000-3450BC). The lithic is sub triangular in plan and plano in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and right hand edges contain semi abrupt retouch. The left edge has been abruptly blunted with the left and right edges tapering to a point at the distal end. The ventral surface is predominantly smooth. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is a cream in colour. Dimensions: Length - 10.91mm, Width- 6.83mm, Thickness- 2.07mm,…

Workflow stage: Published
A group of 2 flint microliths of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Lithic no. 1 retains a small amount of cortex on the dorsal and is therefore a secondary flake. Lithic no. 2 retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flakes are a dark grey in colour. The cortex is a light grey. Dimensions: No. 1: Length- 4.06mm, Width- 2.23mm, Thickness- 1.08mm, Weight- 0.1g No. 2: Length- 2.71mm, Width- 2.43mm, Thickness- 1.02mm, Weight- <0.1g

A group of 3 flint Microlithis of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Lithic no. 1 retains a small amount of cortex on the right hand edge and is therefore a secondary flake. The others retain no cortex and are therefore tertiary flakes. The flakes are a grey brown in colour. The cortex is a light grey/cream.
