Record ID: PUBLIC-F5F3B5
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small fragment of tertiary debitage - most probably a core-rejuvination flake. The dorsal face has a series of very shallow parallel sided flake removal scars suggesting it has been knapped from the tip of a pyramidical later mesolithic core to rejuinate / refresh the working area and allow for flaking in a different direction. This form of waste is classically dated to the late Mesolithic period (4000-3000 BC). The flake has a mid grey colour.
Length 12.3mm, Width 10.7mm, Thickness 3.8mm, Weight 0.3g.

Record ID: PUBLIC-C0BE74
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular core which has been extensively worked in one direction and shows slight evidence of being worked in a secon direction (from the opposite end) to produce small blades or microliths of probable later Mesolithic date (5000-3500 BC). The core is probably derived from a riverine pebble and has several areas of irregular surface caused by movement. The fragment is worn and the remains of working / striking platforms is lost. There is no evidence of rejuvenation flakes or multi platform working. The core is a mid- grey colour with a slightly milky white coloured patina. The cor…

Record ID: PUBLIC-F98530
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete later Mesolithic (5000 - 3500 BC) flint core. The core has been worked in several directions and was used to produce small blades. The core fragmnet has been deliberately removed by a transverse blow - possibly suggesting that the extant piece was removed to regenerate the core. The flint is a dark brown black colour and there is a large area of cortex - this suggests the flint is of a good quality and is not native to the area in which it was found. The discarding of such a large piece of flint is unusal and there is no evidence of further working / retouching of the piece…
