| Title |
Mesolithic microlithic bladelets |
||
| Description |
English: Group of four flint microlithic bladelets, lozenge-shaped in plan, profile and section. Both the right and left margins have been unifacially worked on the dorsal faces. The ventral faces retain part of the bulb of percussion at the proximal end. There is cortex remaining on the surface of two of the bladelets which suggests that these are secondary flakes.
The flint is a mottled dark to light grey colour, probably derived from local beach flint, and the ratio of length to breadth averages at about 3:1. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 95, Fig.5.81, Nos.14-17, which are identified as microlithic blades (after Wymer 1977), and on page 104, Fig.5.88, Nos.18, 61, 91 & 92, which are dated to the Early Mesolithic period. |
