A coarse flint scraper likely of late prehistoric date c 2200-1 BC. Description: The scraper is made from a highly patinated primary flake with a rough L-shape in plan. The retouch along the wide straight sccraping edge, alogn the upper left side is formed ofshort, scaled semi-abrupt retouch. There is some blunting along the lower right side from short scaled sbrupt retouch which invades the mostly covering light brown cortex. The reverse shows a small but pronounced bulb of percussion with clear conchoidal rippling. Measurements: 73.88mm long, 40.99mm wide, 11.91mm thick an…

A coarse flint scraper of uncertain date, likely Late Bronze age to Iron Age in date (c. 1200-1 BC). Description: The scraper is very roughly tirangular but irregular and dog-legs in cross section. It is formed from a secondary flake, with a obscured striking platform at the proximal end. The conchoidal rippling is very distinct indicating its production though hard hammer technology, this is particularly noticeable around the heavily fractured bulb of percussion. It has a round scraping edge along one the pointed end formed by short abrupt scaled retouch. The flint is of poor qua…

A coarse flint scraper likely dating to the late Bronze Age or Iron age c.1000BC - 0BC . Description: The scraper was produced from a secondary flake, irregularly shaped, although with four sides. The flaking has left substle conchoidal ripples on both sides of the flint and a substantial bulb of percussion on the ventral face. The retouch is formed from short scaled semi-abrupt retouch from the ventral face through the cortex on one edge and scaled long semi-abrupt on the wide edge perpedicular to the cortex edge. This latter retouch may be intended to creat a boring point on the …

An incomplete flint borer of late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age date (c. 1000 BC - 1BC). Description: The borer is sub-triangular in plan with a low flaked dorsal face and rounded convex ventral face. Much of the flaking seems incidental and not finely executed. There is limited short scaled semi abrupt retouch creating the boring point opposite the flat edge with cortex still adhering.

A possible flint denticulate of uncertain date, probably Late Bronze to early Iron age date, but a late mesolithic or early Paleothic date cannot be discounted. Description: The denticulate is an irregularly quadrilateral in plan with a wider lower face and slopping sides creating a 'pillow shape'. The tool is formed from a natural flake or accidental removal. It has blunted sides formed by invasive scaled abrupt retouch down one side and then irregular blunting on the other. The distal end has a limited denticulate retouch along it. The flint is very dark grey mottled to black. Th…

A possible flint waste flake reutilised as a serrate implement or denticulate of uncertain age, possibly Late Bronze Age to Iron Age in date? Description: The flake is a tertiary flake and ovoid in plan. It has had long thin removals on the ventral face. Along the left edge of the ventral face are a number of irregular short scaled abrupt to semi-abrupt removals. It is uncertain how intentioanl these removals are however. At the bottom right corner edge of the ventral side is some short scaled abrupt retouch. The entire flint is mottled beige and white with some iron stiaining and …

A flint denticulate of uncertain date, probably Mesolithic or Late Bronze to early Iron age date. Description: The denticulate is irregularly shaped and formed from a tertiary flint flake, with a wider end opposite to the bulb of percussion. Short scaled abrupt retouch along the side edges the right one indents create denticulate serration. This means the tool has a scraping edge and a denticulate edge. The wide end also has some blunting formed from short angled scaled retouch. The flint is a dark grey-brown with some lighter areas and white speckling. Measurements: 39.29mm lon…

Description: The denticulate is irregularly shaped and formed from a secondary flake, with a wider end, where the striking platform is located covered in some off white cortex. Short scaled abrupt retouch is along majority of the opposite end of the tool blunting the edge save for the 'denticulate' section halfway up on the right side formed from a set of steeply retouched notched with short scaled semi abrupt to abrupt flaking.

A crudely made flint scraper probably of Late Bronze age to Iron age date c. 1000BC to c.1BC. Description: The scraper is formed from a secondary flint flake, roughly triangular in plan and triangular in cross-section. The scraper has invasive retouch with a scraper edge formed from a scaled short semi-abrupt retouch along the left edge of the dorsal face. Part of the bottom left edge has short scaled abrupt retouch blunt the edge. The flake has been snapped across its width although with the blunting edge this appears to have happened before the retouch occured. Conchoidal rippli…

A very large flint waste flake, utilised with the addition of a scraping edge, uncertain date, possibly late Bronze Age or Iron Age c.1000 - 1 BC. Description: The flake is a primary removal and very large and irregularly shaped but has roughly five sides in plan. The dorsal face has substantial cortex remaining and uneven poorly formed flaking. Along the right edge half way up there is some crushing retouch intended to blunt the edge. Just past this as the edge curves up to the point of the point of the flake there is short scaled semi-abrupt retouch which runs to the point of the…

A small flint Levalloisian core of likely early Bronze Age date c. 2200-1000 BC. Description: The core is irregularly shaped with two striking platforms at right angles. The core has distinctive 'tortoise shell' flaking typical of Levalloisian production technique, however it is far smaller than the tools being produced during the Middle-Palaeolithic and likely relates to the use of the technique during the early Bronze Age. It seems probable due to the size of the core that it may have been produce a thumb nail scraper or other equally small tool. The core is light blue-grey mottl…
