haqFound three treasures while litterpicking, including another Mesolithic worked flint - 7 from the same area so far (2 x blades and 2 x points/barbs were notably close finds). This one is the same grey flint, and it's been worked as a core, but only about a third remains because it broke from intense heating. Archaeologists sometimes record these heated flints as "potboilers" but I'm not convinced that applies to this artifact. It seems to be part of a core with usable flint that was put beyond use either intentionally or in a natural wildfire. I was already beginning to wonder if a tool - spear/harpoon - was mislaid and I've been finding some of the pieces. Now I'm wondering if a campsite was lost or even a human life: landslip, wildfire, hunting accident? Impossible to know but I can't help speculating.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archaeology</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mesolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mesolithic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lithics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lithics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/larking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#larking</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/litterpicking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#litterpicking</a>

haqTwo tiny worked Mesolithic flints, probably used as barbs on spears. The smallest, which I found yesterday while litterpicking, is 11x6mm. Apart from me, you're the first people to see the one on the left for over 8,000 years.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lithics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lithics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mesolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mesolithic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archaeology</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/larking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#larking</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/litterpicking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#litterpicking</a>

haqGuess who just found the teeniest Mesolithic microlith while litterpicking on a sunset walk? Me! Strange to be the first person for over 8,000 years to see this human manufactured tool.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/larking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#larking</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lithics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lithics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mesolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mesolithic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/litterpicking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#litterpicking</a>

Julia LundmanThe Forsaken, watercolor and pressed flowers on cream paper. This was a little different than my usual. Over the summer, I did a deep dive into mesolithic reconstruction art. I wanted to create a narrative painting inspired by what I had been researching. <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/artists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artists</a> <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/mesolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mesolithic</a>
