Triangular shaped piece of off cream coloured flint. Shaped like an arrowhead, this piece exhibits several negative scars on the dorsal face, one in the medial at the proximal edge, described by the finder as a possible hafting point. The left margin appears to have been subject to retouch along its lower edge, which appears thick and more consistent with a scraper edge. The distal edge terminates as a point, while the right side of the distal point the margin is thin and more blade like in appearance, this becomes thicker as the right margin reaches the media. The proximal edge i…

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is an edge trimmed serrated flake. The left margin has been retouched from the dorsal face, while the right margin has been serrated from both faces. The proximal end is retouched. The ventral left margin has been serrated from both faces and the right edge retouched from the dorsal face. The proximal end has been retouched from both faces and has an hinge fracture. The flint is dark grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is unclear with only tertiary cortex. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on…

Irregular shaped dark brown coloured piece of flint. The dorsal face is uneven in appearance, exhibiting several negative scar edges, typical of a core face. The proximal edge is similar in appearance to a flake removed leaving a hinged fracture, , the right margin is jagged and uneven, where on reaching the distal edge it becomes straight as if snapped off, or could be the remains of a core striking platform. The left margin is more even in and convex in plan, but no appearance of retouch along its edge. The ventral face is smooth in appearance and touch, exhibits some conchoidal …

Rectangular shaped piece of translucent dark brown coloured flint. The dorsal face exhibits what appears to be a single negative scar at the medial running across the face between the left and right margin. The distal edge, left margin and proximal edges all appears to have been subject to retouch with the exception of the right margin which appears to have been broken. The left margin has been subject to retouch along its full length making what could be a scraper edge. The distal retouch is limited to the centre of the edge, while the proximal retouch is also limited to the cent…

County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Off white coloured piece of flint, shaped like half a tear drop. The right margin appears to have been snapped off, the edge is clean and sharp. The distal edge terminates in a rough point, implying damage when the right margin was broken. The left margin does appear to exhibit some abrupt retouch along its edge. The dorsal face is smooth in appearance and appears to support the theory that this is only part of a tool, probably a scraper. The ventral face is smooth in appearance, no obvious indication of retouch along this face.

Circular shaped piece of translucent grey coloured piece of flint. The dorsal face exhibits a central peak which slopes down on all sides. The proximal edge appears to exhibits some retouch along its edge, The area between the distal edge and left margin also appears to exhibits retouch marks along the edge. The right side of the proximal edge could be looked upon as a tang, the image does not show how prominent it is. The ventral face is very smooth in appearance and texture, bulb of percussion is still present, with some conchoidal ripples present in the surface. Possible scrape…

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is an edge trimmed flake. There is retouch along the lower half of the dorsal left margin and cortex along the right margin. The proximal end has also been trimmed. The ventral face shows edge trimming along the central part of the right margin, done from the dorsal face. The distal end is also trimmed, possibly to create a point. The flint is mottled grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 57 No L111, which he calls an …

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is a flake with use wear. The distal edge of the dorsal face has been battered with use, as has the lower left margin on the ventral face. The flint is mottled grey-cream in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 57 No L110, which he calls an edge trimmed flake and dates to the Neolithic period.

Pottery rim sherd with a flat-topped rim that is slightly expanded externally. There are two parallel vertical finger nail impression on the exterior of the sherd, at right angles to the edge of the rim, and some applied decoration at an oblique angle below them. The sherd is made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown to mid-brown throughout the sherd. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric and type of decoration are seen on Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2…

There is a notch at the proximal end of the left edge, retouched from the ventral face. The ventral face has retouch along its left margin from the dorsal face. The flint is mottled grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 129 Fig 56 No L103 and L97, which he calls edge trimmed flakes and dates to the Neolithic period.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy handle from a barrel tap of modern date, pelta shaped and attached to the remainder of the object by the central section which has broken off due to an old break. The inside edges of the loops and the outside edge of the main curve are bevelled from a central ridge, possibly the remains of smoothed casting seams. The inside edges are densely covered in fine, transverse filemarks. The bottom of the curve is slightly flattened; probably after casting as the seam is absent here; so it will stand more or less upright balanced on the curve. The central secti…
