Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete flint thumbnail scraper made from a secondary flake. The object survives in good condition with only a small amount of plough damage to all edges. Cortex covers the flat proximal end. The dorsal face has four flaking scars and the left, right and distal edges show semi-abrupt retouch. The removals are long and sub-parallel. The ventral face is smooth but uneven with no obvious bulb of percussion. The flint is mid-grey in colour and of poor quality. However, the ventral face has a slightly milky patina suggesting that the object may be an example of later reworking following e…

Object type: BORER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint borer, made from a tertiary flake. There is a small amount of plough damage, particularly to the left and proximal edges. The borer has a central arise on the dorsal face, with another to the right. The ventral face is flat, becoming convex towards the bulb of percussion on the proximal end. There is evidence of very fine abrupt retouch along the right end of the dorsal face, and on the left hand side of the ventral face towards the distal end. The distal end forms a point. The tip of this is blunt and rounded due to damage following deposition, suggesting it was originally long…

Two fragments of tertiary flint waste flakes. Neither shows signs of further working. Rolled edges and sharp natural breaks on both suggest that they have sustained damage following deposition.

Large worked and notched tertiary flint flake of Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The flake is sub-triangular in form. The dorsal face has two long removals, running its length, with a smaller one on the right-hand side. The left-hand side of the ventral face has short, semi-abrupt, scaled removals running from about one third of the way up, culminating in a small worked notch close to the distal end.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Large notched secondary flint flake, of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The dorsal face is highly convex in shape with four long flaking scars running from the proximal end and five further scars running in the opposite direction at the distal end on the left-hand side. This suggests that the object is possibly a large rejuvenation flake removed from a blade core. The flake is pointed at both ends, with an apparently deliberately worked notch on the right-hand side at the distal end. The flake is otherwise unworked. There is a very small amount of cortex remaining on the left-ha…

Composite flint tool of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date, with a scraper on one side and borer on the other. The ventral face is smooth, but uneven. It has a prominent bulb of percussion on the left-hand side, before becoming concave towards the centre. The dorsal face has seven large flaking scars running from one end to the other. The right-hand side has abrupt, short to long, scaled removals allowing it to be used as a scraper. Whilst the left-hand side has a borer formed from two flaking scars, with a small amount of further retouch in a few places. The colour of the flint ra…

County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small notched flint waste flake of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The flake has three parallel flaking scars on the dorsal face. A 'V' shaped notch is missing at the proximal end. This is possibly resulting from frost or plough damage following deposition. On the left-hand side of the dorsal face is another notch that appears to have been deliberately worked and shows some possible signs of wear through use. Below this, towards the proximal end could be a few abrupt, short, scaled removals, but their small size and extent makes this difficult to confirm. The flint is light grey…

Notched tertiary flint flake of probable Neolithic to Bronze age date. Small 'V' shaped flint waste flake. Part of the notch of the 'V' may possibly show signs of very limited reworking to enhance it further. However, this is likely to be simply a waste flake. The flint is dark grey-brown in colour.

Small flint blade of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The blade is made from a secondary flake - there is still cortex covering the right-hand side of the dorsal face. There are two long flaking scars on the dorsal face. The distal end has evidence of a break, suggesting that the blade was once longer. The flint is dark grey-brown in colour.
