County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An assemblage of five small flint micro implements dating from the Mesolithic periods, c. 7000-4000 BC. All five are formed of the same dark grey black flint: 1) A blade formed on a secondary flake, with a tiny area of cortex surviving. Triangular in cross section, rectangular in shape, very slender and almost transparent at the cutting edges, which have been created using abrupt retouch. Slightly larger removals are present at the distal end, giving a slightly waisted appearance. 16mm length, 13.1mm width, 3.2mm thickness, weight 0.79g. 2) A microlith formed on a ve…

A possible Microlith of Mesolithic date. The fragment is from a tertiary flake of flint. The flint is a brown grey colour with occasional white flecks. It has a semi-glossy patina. It is sub-rectangular in plan although the right edge, as seen from the dorsal surface, is slightly longer than the left and a rounded distal end. This distal end has short, parallel, semi-abrupt retouch on its dorsal surface. This dorsal surface also has two negative flake removals struck in the same direction as the flint. There is no bulb of percussion or ripples suggesting the use of a soft hammer an…

An incomplete Mesolithic flint microlith, probably dating to c. 8,000-4,000 BC. A tertiary flake of mottled grey/brown flint, lenticular in plan and with one point truncated by a natural break. One edge of the microlith exhibits short, semi-abrupt, scalar retouch along its length on the dorsal face. Dimensions: Length 15.2mm; width 6.6mm; thickness 1.7mm; weight 0.22g. Part of a small assemblage of flint found in the same field, comprising of records: DEV-7F8CE1, DEV-094CF7, DEV-7EDBED and DEV-0A9D0C. The group includes diagnostically mesolithic material (DEV-7F8CE1, a microlith…

Two Mesolithic flint microliths. The dark grey flint (c.25mm x 10mm) is diagonal in shape and complete, the white flint (c.15mm x8mm) has snapped in half. Evidence of retouching is visible on the edges of both microliths.

Mesolithic flint microlith. The microlith is obliquely blunted, and has been broken at one end. It would originally have measured about 35-40mm. Microliths of this size and form date to the early Mesolithic period, around 8000-7000 BC.
