Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete teritary debitage flake, of probable Mesolithic to Early Neolithic dating (6500 BC to 3500 BC). The flake is sub rectangular in shape, and triangular in cross section. A ridge runs the length of the dorsal (upper) surface. The remains of a bulb of percussion are present on the ventral (lower) surface. Controlled retouch is present along both sides and can be classified as short, parallel, semi-abrupt. It measures 38.7 mm in length, 12.7 mm wide and 4.8 mm thick. It weighs 2.1 g. The flint is a mid orange colour, with some surface patination occurring.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped / flaked flint scraper, formed from a snapped blade / blade like flake, of probable Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic dating (6500 - 2900 BC). The scraper is sub rectangular in plan, and rectangular in cross section. It has been formed from the end of a blade / blade like flake. Controlled retouch is present along three of the sides. Conchoidal ripples are present on the dorsal (underside) surface. The scraper is a light grey / dark beige colour, with little surface patination. The scraper measures 21.21mm length, 23.43mm width, 4.88mm thick and weighs 3…

A core rejuvenation flake struck from poor quality flint of Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date (6500 to 2900 BC). It is subrectangular in plan. The ventral (upper) face demonstrates a series of ridges, with a hinge fracture present. The dorsal (lower) face demonstrates a bulb of percussion and striking platform. It has been taken from a core, for the production of blades, as demonstrated from a series of parallel flint scars at the proximal end of the flake. There is evidence of uncontrolled flaking scars along the edge of the flake, which are probably the result of post depositi…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broken flint blade, probably dating to the later Mesolithic or early Neolithic periods (6500 - 2900 BC). The blade is almost triangular in plan, with a series of ridges on the dorsal (upper) face. The ventral (lower) face shows evidence of the bulb of percussion and part of a striking platform. The blade has been deliberately broken. There is evidence of retouch along the dorsal (upper) left edge, with four small parallel flake scars. There are some irregular, uncontrolled flake scars present, suggesting later post depositional damage such as plough roll or movement in the soil. The…
