Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Sheffield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small assemblage of 14 pieces of Mesolithic chert debitage, c9000 - 4000BC, all recovered from the same location. The implements are debitage, or waste material, produced during the knapping process. The ventral surfaces of several pieces display waves of percussion, from the striking process and the dorsals display evidence of some flake removal. None of the pieces show signs of any retouch.
