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.

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.

Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint thumbnail scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is formed on a tertiary piece of debitage / waste flake which is a mottled grey black colour. The ventral face shows some conchoidal ripples and the base of the bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has multiple and layered series of flake facets. These are most dense around the edge where a series of neat regular well applied secondary retouch can be seen. This has been well applied and forms a slightly serrated cutting / scraping edge. Little or no retouch is applied to the edges on the ven…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
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.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Knapped flint scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2900-1800 BC). The scraper is broadly oval in plan and in cross section being formed from a tertiary flake; possibly debitage. The upper / dorsal face of the scraper exhibits a series of irregular flake scars suggesting that this piece has been removed from a larger flake and been subsequently reused. The lower / ventral face is concave with a series of conchoidal ripples; the bulb of percussion is lost due to a snapped edge. The edges of the dorsal face have all be retouched with indirect percussion, all the flakes re…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric stone axe of probable early Neolithic date. The axe has been made from a fine grained igneous rock, dark grey in colour with fine white inclusions. The axe has been manufactured by chipping and grinding. The chipping is predominantly associated with the lateral edges and the butt of the axe. The blade has been formed through grinding of the body of the axe. The axe is fairly crude and not nearly so finely finished as some Neolithic axes. This may perhaps indicate that it was intended to be purely functional and not intended to be used as a status symbol. Damage to the bl…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two large flakes of secondary debitage dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2000 BC). Both flakes have less than 50 % cortex present and several flake facets suggesting deliberate flaking. The cortex is chalk derived and the flint is a dark brown colour; one flake is patinated a milky white. The flakes have a bulk weight: 16.43 grams
