Object type: ASSEMBLAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large flint assemblage of later Mesolithic date, probably representing blade and microlith production. The assemblage comprises:
7 complete and incomplete microliths, all with short abrupt retouch along one or both sides and ranging in length from 9.9mm to 22.6mm. Size and form suggest a later Mesolithic date. Identifiable types include: an obliquely blunted scalene triangle and a curved point with retouch to one side of the base, possibly another incomplete obliquely blunted scalene triangle (Clark Group A; Jacobi 1a)); 4 backed or rod types (Clark Group B; Jacobi …

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey flint debitage fragment. A narrow straight-sided flake with long narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side and with an undulating ventral surface; a white patina has developed over struck surfaces suggesting the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment. Chips a either end reveal the original tint of the flint, which is probably from the Lincolnshire Wolds. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC

Record ID: SUR-986EF5
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large flint blade core of later mesolithic date with a single striking platform, struck from a dark brown flint. The core is triangular in shape with parallel removal scars around half of its circumference. A patch of grey-brown cortex remains down one side. The other has a single large removal scar with battering damage and small flaked removals around the edge, running off it one side perpendicular to the striking platform and partially overlying it. This suggests a secondary use for the core, possibly as a hammer.

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint microlith of early Mesolithic date (Clark Group F; Jacobi Group C, 10a), probably a Horsham point. The original form was asymmetrical and triangular. One long side is backed with abrupt retouch, the convex side feathers to an edge which has a patch of short abrupt retouch blunting it at the proximal end and an area of what may be use related damage towards the distal end. The proximal end is concave with a hollow base defined by abrupt retouch. The distal point has broken off.

Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete small tranchet adze, made from a larger thermal (frost/”potlid”) fracture of flint, the ventral face (the flatter of the two) carries the remnants of the interior face of this natural fracture, this area is unworked and is patinated slightly more orange/yellow than the knapped surfaces. The butt of the adze is relatively unpatinated, with a tiny patch of cortex extant to the very tip of the butt, the rest of the dorsal cortex is completely removed by flaking, this face shows the flint to have originally been mid-grey, the other parts of the adze are now patinated a…

Object type: PERFORATED OBJECT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint pebble macehead manufactured from a naturally perforated flint sponge fossil pebble of light grey flint. The object is sub triangular in shape and has been roughly worked with hard hammered flaking around all sides; the central piercing is unworked and comprises the natural void of the sponge body. There is extensive battering damage around the exterior, likely from use.
Artefacts of this type are presumed to be of Mesolithic date.

Object type: PICK
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint 'Thames pick' of Mesolithic date, 154.5mm in length, struck from a long flint pebble or nodule of dark grey flint. The proximal end / butt end of the tool retains its light brown cortex and the cross section of the tool appears to follow the original sub rounded profile of the nodule, with only the front portion being worked with hard hammered removals. The cutting edge is wedge shaped and appears to have some use-related damage; originally the tip may have been shaped with one or more tranchet removals but these are no longer particularly clear.

This is a core rejuvenation flake, at the top of the flake is remnants of a prepared platform. The dorsal has a prominent off-centre ridge running down its length, the flake removal taken from one direction. The ventral side has a large bulb of percussion at the base. The flint is covered in a creamy patina with grey patches.

Flint debitage. Six tiny [of lengths between 24.5mm to 9.4mm] flakes with scars from the removal of narrow or parallel flakes from their dorsal sides, and with flat or bulbar ventral surfaces. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the objects have subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest their incorporation in gravel. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC

Flint possible core fragment. A small chunk with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a rounded or bulbar ventral surface. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest its incorporation in gravel. More than one episode of working is possible. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: possibly Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC
