Description: | Six worked flints with possible retouch (8300-3500 BC).
i) L. 61.39mm, W. 23.76mm, T. 10.31mm, WT. 14.27g.
Mesolithic Waste flake (8300-3500 BC). On the dorsal surface there are signs of platform preparation whilst on the ventral surface the bulb of percussion and scars are evident.
ii) L. 36.82mm, W. 23.71mm, T. 6.19mm, WT. 7.05g.
Mesolithic Waste flake (8300-3500 BC). On the dorsal surface there are signs of platform preparation and evidence of some retouch at the proximal end of the flake. On the ventral surface the bulb of percussion and scars are evident.
iii) L. 30.99mm, W. 19.69mm, T. 3.74mm, WT. 2.15g.
Mesolithic Waste flake (8300-3500 BC). Possibly a bi-product of blade production. On the ventral surface the waves are visible but the bulb of percussion and striking platform has broken off. On the dorsal surface there is a single arise and the flint has been snapped at the distal end of the flake.
iv) WT. 1.6g.
Mesolithic Waste flake (8300-3500 BC). Possibly a from a microlith core.
v) L. 30.41mm, W. 12.79mm, T. 3.58mm, WT. 0.68g.
Mesolithic Waste flake (8300-3500 BC). Probably a bi-product of blade production. There is a deep wave of percussion on the ventral surface of the flake and there are multiple arises on the dorsal surface. The light blue colouring or patination is caused by the flints exposure to the elements.
vi) L. 20.03mm, W. 14.22mm, T. 4.58mm, WT. 0.77g.
Mesolithic Waste flake (8300-3500 BC). Possibly a from a microlith core. On the dorsal surface there are signs of platform preparation. On the ventral surface the bulb of percussion is visible. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -8300
