Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is irregular in both plan and profile. It has number of regular facets (caused by flaking) on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. There is a patch of cortex (the rough outer skin of the flint nodule) present on the dorsal edge. This suggests that this flake comes from the secondary phase of tool production. The cortex is white and is similar to that of flint nodules from chalk areas. The underside (ventral face) of the flake shows a small neat bulb of percussion, which is position…

Relatively large flint scraper (side and end) of probable later Neolithic date (2900 - 2100 BC). The scraper is formed from a large chunky flint secondary waste flake, which was probably a bi-product of other tool production. It is broadly oval in plan and cross section.
The scraper measures 28.8mm length, 26.9mm width, is 9.6mm thick and weighs 6.94 grams.
The scraper has significant retouch applied to the upper (dorsal) face. This secondary working is primarily limited to the cutting edges positioned along one side and the base. Here a series of regular overlapping neat smal…

Irregular flake of debitage, from the secondary phase of tool making: it most likely dates from the later Neolithic period (2900-2100 BC). The upper dorsal face exhibits lateral flake scars from the removal or narrow flakes. The dorsal face also has a large amount of white cortex, similar to that seen on nodule of flint procured from chalk. The reverse (ventral) face has a single bulb of percussion and associated conchoidal ripples. The direction of this is at 90 degree to that on the ventral face. It is possible that part of one edge has been reworked with short blunt secondary flakin…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Late Neolithic waste flake (tertiary debitage). The flake is sub-triangular in shape and has a twisted, flat cross-section. There is no retouch.
The ventral face has a percussion scar and a large striking platform. It is wideset at the stiking platform and tapers quickly to a thin body.
The flint is a translucent off white, with an internal light grey patch, indicating this is a river flint.
It is 27mm long, 18mm wide and 5mm thick at platform. It weighs 1.4g.

County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Late Neolithic waste flake (tertiary debitage). The flake is sub-oval in shape and has a flat cross-section. One end is more pointed and the flake is thickest near this end.
There is no retouch.
The ventral face has a percussive ripples from a strike at the pointed end. The dorsal face has many ridges and percussive ripples in opposing directions.
The flint is an almost opaque light grey, indicating this is a river flint.
It is 37mm long, 24mm wide and 6mm thick. It weighs 4.3g.

A grey / black coloured secondary debitage flake that has been reworked in one area to form a knife or scraper. The flake is broadly oval with a deliberately snapped edge. The dorsal face shows a number of multi-direction flake removals presuambly created prior to removal from the core. The ventral face has a clear bulb of percussion - this has been thinned and then the outer edge has been reworked with neat invasive retouch creating a small cutting / scraping edge. The cortex is white chalk limestone derived suggesting that this flint is of a better quality to much sourced locally. T…

Mid mottled grey coloured very thin / fine flake of tertiary debitage of probable Neolithic or possible early Bronze Age date. The flake has a series of scar flake removals on the dorsal face and choncoidal ripples on the ventral. The edges are not retouched. The thinness of the flake suggests this was a thinning flake from a core tool. The flake measures 20.2mm length, 25.2mm width is 2.8mm thick and weighs 1.4 grams.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A chunk or chip of mottled mid grey coloured tertiary debitage of probable Neolithic - Iron Age date. The flake is irregular in plan and section with a number of old regular and modern irregular flake removals. The upper edge seems to be reworked with direct retouch - although this may be a modern artefact of movement in the soil. The flake measures 25.1mm length, 11.8mm width, is 7.4mm thick and weighs 1.6 grams.

Large piece of black coloured flint blade like flake of secondary debitage of probable later Meolithic or Early Neolithic date. The flake has been damaged in the ploughsoil and several new irregular flakes are present. Originally the dorsal face had several flake scars and a large area of white coloured limestone / chalk derived cortex. The ventral face has the remains of the bulb of percussion - although some of it is lost due to the top of the blade being damaged. The base of teh blade has an area of invasive retouch creating a cutting / scraping egde. The colour of the flint sugges…
