Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A chunky looking blade with a finely serrated edge. It could be described as a piercer or serrated piece. The point has been blunted, probably from use. The serration is along the right and left hand edges and there are signs of gloss from use wear on the dorsal face. The right hand edge has patination along it. The flint is dark grey in colour with large speckles of lighter grey and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig. 71, No. 6 which is dated to the later Neolithic.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flake with notch on left hand edge, which has been worked from the ventral side along the notch. It is a small flake and rather misshapen. Possibly a small graver. There is a point on the same side as the notch but it is not robust enough to act as a piercer or awl. There is evidence of trimming along the right hand edge. The best description would be a notched flake. The flint is a medium grey colour with some speckles of lighter grey and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig.55, No. 4 which is dated to the ea…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval to Modern cast lead circular double-sided token (c. 1250-c. 1850 AD). The token has a raised design on both sides. One side has a 'compass-drawn' flower with a knop at the centre. The other side has an illegible design. This token has been pierced. Diameter: 22.37mm. Weight: 7.58g. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval to Modern in date (c. 1250-1850 AD).

A blade which has been truncated at distal end so could have been longer originally. It has also been snapped at the edge at the proximal end. It is possible that this could have been a notch before a piece was snapped off. This edge has been worked from the ventral side. The right hand edge, dorsal view, has been trimmed so the piece is an edge trimmed flake/blade. The proximal end shows signs of natural abrasion. There is patination on part of the dorsal and ventral sides. The flint is a pale grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Mercer [1981] illustrates…
