The fabric has sparse very fine quartz sand and limestone inclusions. The limestone is up to 1.3mm across.

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Knapped flint flake with extensive retouch, probably Neolithic to Bronze Age in date. The flake has been badly chipped and weathered after knapping obscuring many details. There are clear ripples on the ventral face but the bulb of percussion is missing to a large chip. There is further chipping and probably some deliberate long, shallow scalar retouch around the edges. The dorsal face is domed with no clear arises from previous flake removals but evidence of multiple smaller removals and chips around the edge and shallow invasive retouch across the centre. If there was a retouched cu…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Knapped flint secondary flake, probably Neolithic to Bronze Age in date. The bulb of percussion and a prepared platform survives at the proximal end. The blade is triangular in section with a prominent ridge down the dorsal face with evidence for two previous parallel removals from the core. The edges and distal end are badly chipped with a mixture of old and new damage. Due to the position of previous removals and the effect of knapping it has a natural point at the distal end which could have been utilised. There is a small area (c.5%) of cortex on the dorsal face on the central lin…

Proximal end of a knapped flint secondary flake or large blade with a probably deliberate notch in one side, probably Neolithic in date, possibly late Mesolithic. The bulb of percussion survives at the proximal end and regular parallel arises on the dorsal face suggest it was removed from a core worked in one direction with parallel removals. There is a small area (c.10%) of cortex on the dorsal face down the left edge. There is a deep notch half way along the left edge which may be deliberate. Dark grey flint with paler mottling. 22.9mm long by 28.4mm wide by 4.9mm thick, 2.89 grams.

Roman cast copper-alloy Dolphin type brooch with hinged pin dating to c. AD 55-100. The head and top half of the bow survives, the remainder is lost to an old break. The brooch head has two cylindrical wings with open ends, one complete, the other missing 50% of its length to an old break. The complete wing has two pairs on incised transverse lines across the front just before the outer end. Iron corrosion in the broken wing suggests the spindle that ran thought the wings for the hinge was iron. The complete wing has a white substance, solder or cement, in the open end. There is a lar…
