Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy splitting wedge of uncertain, but probably Bronze Age, date. The wedge has a rectangular section and the sides show filed seams. The top shows heavy wear from impacts and is curled over. A corner of the blade is missing. The wedge is 53.62mm long and the weight is 60.50g. It seems more likely that weights of later date would have been made of iron.

Knapped flint scraper made on a secondary flake, probably of Bronze Age date, c.2150-800 BC. Cortex covers c.50% of the dorsal face and c.25 % of the ventral face down one side and across the distal end. The bulb of percussion has been removed by retouch but the percussion waves remain. There is long, pararllel, semi-abrupt retouch around the proximal end and right edge on the dorsal face ending in a retouched semi-circular notch with abrupt retouch at the distal end. The notch has created a rounded point at the right corner of the the distal end which is shaped by semi-abrupt long, p…

Copper alloy chisel. Cast chisel with a tapered triangular blade unevenly worn, and a slightly expanded round section shaft of diameter 6.6mm. At its maximum expansion this is then squared and tapered to form a whittle tang. The finder suggests a Bronze Age date for this object. This may be apt, though a more recent date might be equally appropriate, especially if the tool were intended for work with leather or finer woodwork. Suggested date: Possibly Late Bronze Age, 1150-800 BC. Length: 63.2mm, Width: 16.1mm, Thickness: 6.8mm, Weight: 13.81gms.

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unusual millstone grit tool. The stone out of which the tool has been made is a type imported into the area for use as querns and millstones. It is much harder, finer and more evenly grained, more cohesive, and paler than the local grit. Likely to be within the date range of c2900 BC to c100 AD, but probably Bronze Age (2150-800 BC) It is probable that the object started life as larger quern or milling stone that broke at some stage. As the stone would have been sought after locally, it was reused. See also LANCUM-0F97C8 for further information. Measures 160mm in length, 70mm i…

Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
End scraper worked on a flake of grey translucent flint with opaque cream inclusions. It appears to have been a plunging flake from a core as there are parallel scars on the dorsal surface with a hinged termination to one of them. The end scraper scars are parallel and semi-abrupt and work around on to the right margin and finish with a sharp notch. Shaunie found a large deeply concave section granite saddle quern fragment nearby.(632B.1). Butler illustrates a similar end scraper on page 166, fig 70, 5.

Object type: STRIKE A LIGHT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
Found by Shauney Strick;A large piece of flint for this area which has been flaked off the end of a nodule. Flakes have been removed from the edge of the platform created and have shallowly removed cortex from the dorsal surface. The edge has been heavily abraded in places as though localised deliberate use for a grinding or strike-a-light task. There is an overall water worn appearance. There is fresher abrasion to the tip of the tool and this might be recent plough damage or reuse after the tumbling in water. Butler describes strike-a-lights from prehistoric to Medieval times on page 17.
