Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flint core probably of Mesolithic date to Early Neolithic date (c. 9000 - 3300 BC). The object is made from a dark-grey/dark-brown translucent flint. The surface of the flint is very clear and is not covered by any white patina associated with recortication. However, there is an area of cortex remaining on the flint. The object has a sub-conical shape. It is most likely an example of a conical bladelet core. There is a single striking platform, which serves as the flat base of the cone-like object. There is also a single flaking surface that wraps around the remaind…

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 …

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 Length: 23.6mm, Width: 10.2mm, Thickness: 3.7mm, Weight: 1.02gms

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.

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.

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…
