Term	Description
Prehistoric	General terms for all the periods before the start of historical records. This is mostly before the [Roman] period for Britain – the first mention of the northern [Iron Age] Brigantes tribe is in 49AD. See the specialised entries for [Palaeolithic], [Mesolithic], [Neolithic], [Bronze Age] and [Iron Age]. The time depth of the term can be widened for certain aspects of the northeast's past.
Flint	Flint is a glassy stone, which was commonly used in the [prehistoric] periods to make tools, such as [microliths]. In the [Post-Medieval] period gun-flints were made. It can be easily shaped by knocking it against other stone, bone or wood. The earliest flint tools were made in the [Palaeolithic], but most flint tools were made in the [Mesolithic] and [Neolithic]. It is being debated if flint use continued into the [Bronze Age] and [Iron Age]. Flint can be found in small amounts of pebbles found in the clays along the coastal strip of Northumberland and Durham. It is likely that there are offshore deposits as well – though the dumping of [ballast] will have confused the picture.
