A complete flint microlith of Mesolithic date, c.7000-4000 BC. The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and distal edges have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth displaying ripples of percussion. The lithic retains a no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. Length: 14.3mm, Width: 12.6mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 0.2g. …

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic retouched flint blade dating from 10,000 - 4000 BC. It is a tertiary blade struck on semi-translucent dark brown flint. It is rectangular with a double dorsal ridge. The distal end has some scaled, abrupt, short retouch, perhaps to form a scraping edge, and there is some sporadic retouch or edge damage on the long edges, with more careful working at the proximal ends of the sides. This is also abrupt, scaled and short. There is also a small removal right across the ventral face at the proximal end. The blade is 38.1mm long, 13.9mm wide, 4.3mm thick and weighs 2.64g.

Two blades and one snapped blade of flint dating from the Mesolithic, 9000 BC - 4000 BC. The smallest blade is formed on opaque buff coloured flint, and the other two are patinated to white. The longest is snapped so the proximal end is missing. There is a small area of possible retouch on both long edges of the smallest. The largest is 40.3mm long, 11.8mm wide and 5.2mm thick. 2.42g. The next is 32.2mm long, 11.2mm wide and 5.3mm thick. 2.1g. The smallest is 24.1mm long, 11.8mm wide and 2.6mm thick. 0.89g.

A flint blade of uncertain date but possibly Mesolithic to Neolithic date (9000 to 2200 BC). Worked from semi-translucent pale grey flint with a light patina. This is a tertiary flake sub-rectangular in shape and sub-triangular in cross section.
