Description: | A group of two pieces of flint Debitage of probable Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC).A complete piece flint of debitage, the object is a core rejuvenation flake and is rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface is convex and has multiple longitudinally running negative scars and hinged flake removals. The ventral surface is flat with the exception of hinged flake removal at the distal end. The lithic retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.The flint is a light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is cream in colour.Length: 35.25mm, Width: 16.56mm, Thickness: 12.96mm, Weight: 8.4g.A complete piece of flint debitage, the object is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The object is heavily river rolled eroding any details of working to this object with the exception of a probable small bulb of percussion situated on the ventral surface at the proximal end.The flint is mid-brown in colour with recortification across all surfaces, the cortex is cream in colour.Length: 25.51mm, Width: 19.65mm, Thickness: 9.49mm, Weight: 6.1g.The group was found in direct association with each other and a crinoid, photographs attached . This could be as a result of movement of alluvium deposits from the River Tyne.
