County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible chert scraper of Mesolithic to Bronze Age, 9000 BC - 1000 BC. The possible tool is formed on a tertiary flake of black chert with a dorsal ridge. It has possible retouch on all edges which is abrupt, sub-parallel and short. The removals are not particularly uniform, casting some doubt about their intentionality. Length: 50.57mm Width: 36.33mm Thickness: 11.1mm Weight: 26.96g The thickness of the flake and abruptness of the retouch rules out use as an arrowhead, but it would be a functional scraper.

A possible burin formed on a crude blade of white flint. Unknown date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age (10,000 - 1000 BC). It is unclear where the flint was struck from. The faces are uneven, and most have a stepped termination scar. One end of the blade is much narrower and thinner. One side of this projection has short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch, possibly to form a burin. There appears to be a removal across the end of the spur from the retouched edge. The tool is 38.1mm long, 16.3mm wide, 8.2mm thick. 3.3g. Burins are typically mesolithic, but the reuse of a crude blade i…
