Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sub-connical flint core, of probable Neolithic date, c. 4,000-2,400BC. Of a mottled dark grey-brown flint with pale inclusions. Sub-Hexagonal in cross-section and tapering to a point, with neat, blade-like removals from around the perimeter of the core and with abrasion around the edge of the striking platform suggesting platform preparation. Dimensions: length 31.4mm; width 27.6mm; thickness 18.8mm; weight 16.33g. Part of a small assemblage of flint all recovered from the same field; comprising of DEV-E1C90D, DEV-E1CE6E, DEV-E1CF22, DEV-E1D34D and DEV-109C25. DEV-E1C90D an…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core of possible Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date, c. 8000-3000 BC. The core is sub-conical, with a small area of sandy cortex retained near the point, and of a patinated grey flint with one off-white, heavily patinated facet. From one section of the core have been removed a series of narrow parallel flakes, but with more irregular flakes removed to either side, although these areas are also damaged. Dimensions: Height 32.3mm; length 28.3mm; width 38.0mm; weight 39.05g. Found as part of a larger assemblage which is predominently later in character (see: DEV-D8A691…

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core of probable Mesolithic or Neolithic date, c. 7000-2400 BC. The core is worked from a river cobble, of a grey flint mottled with paler inclusions. It retains its cortex on c. 50% of its surface, with all removals being struck from the same face, with a single striking platform surviving at one end. These removals are sub-parallel and blade-like, although the final removals were hinged and flake-like. Dimensions: length 45.3mm; width 28.3mm; thickness 16.8mm; weight 29.09g. It is difficult to suggest a date for a single worked flint with any confidence, however, the r…
