Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small fragment of debitage either a chunk or chip of flint probably dating from the Neolithic or Bronze Age (3500 - 1500 BC). The chip is sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. It measures 12.8mm length, 13.5mm width and is 4.7mm thick. It weighs 0.91 grams. Approximately 40% of the chip is covered in cortex (the outer rind or skin of a nodule) suggesting that this flake was produced early in the tool making process, probably after the artefact was 'roughed out'. The lower edge of the chunk has a small area of secondary working. This is in the form of retouch to produce …

A complete, but damaged, knapped (?), and ground axe head of probable later Neolithic date (2900-2100 BC). The axe is knapped from a mid brownish green black igneous rock, possibly a Gabbro. This rock could be knapped in a similar way to flint to form tools. However, the composition of the rock which forms the axe head is different to that of the majority of stone axe heads from the period. The axe head also has a thin seam of softer material probably a pyroxene inclusion. Pyroxene is common as an inclusion in many igneous rocks but is not often found in stone axe heads. The presence o…

Scraper possible a discoidal knife, reworked from a fragment of a flaked Neolithic (2900 -2100 BC) axehead. The axehead was created from a large piece of black coloured chert. Chert is a very similar rock to flint, in that it is silica based and flakes in a controlled manner. However, chert has a courser material matrix than flint and more skill is needed to knap it successfully. The tool is broadly sub-rectangular (rectangular with rounded corners) in plan and oval (slightly D shaped) in cross section. It probably comprised the upper part of the blade and cutting edge of the axe. …

Two flakes of debitage reused as scrapers of probable later Neolithic date (2900-2300 BC). The two flakes are both waste flakes struck from different flint nodules. The have been reworked along their long edges to form relatively crude but effective scrapers. Both are broadly oval in shape exhibiting multiple flake facets on the dorsal face and conchoidal ripples / bulbar scars on the ventral. Direct and indirect percussion has been used to rework the edges. 1. 38.3mm length, 34.6mm width is 7.3mm thick and weighs 11.96 grams. 2. 23.7 mm length, 28.6mm width …

Knapped and flaked flint knife blade / or possible scraper of later Neolithic date. The scraper is irregular in shape being broadly a lozenge in plan and D shaped in cross section. It has been formed from a struck flake which has come from the tertiary phase of knapping. Several larger 'relic' scars are present on the upper (dorsal) face which have been caused by striking other flakes prior to the removal of this blade. Two relatively modern breaks are present caused presumably by degradation in the ploughsoil. On the ventral (reverse) face clear evidence of conchoidal fractures are p…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible polished axe-head or model of an axe-head of later Neolithic (2900-2100 BC). There is a great amount of debate in the identification of this artefact. In shape and form it is very similar to known polished axes of the Neolithic period; however, it is formed from local fine grained mud / sandstone and is maybe better described as a naturally occurring axe-shaped nodule. The stone is too soft for tool production, hence a third and rather tenuous alternative interpretation as a potential model, in that it looks and would have acted as an axe in every way apart from being functio…

A fragment of knapped flint knife - or possibly a reworked projectile point of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2900 BC - 1800 BC). The flint is sub-triangular in plan and an irregular trapezoid in cross section. The flint has been worked from a larger flake and the ventral face shows evidence of conchoidal ripples. The two long edges of the dorsal face show evidence of significant retouch which has been applied through pressure flaking; these have created a neat serrated edge. The lower short edge has several areas of vertical knapping on the butt suggesting it has been del…

A large fragment from a knapped, ground and polished stone axehead of later Neolithic date (2900-2100 BC). The axe is knapped from a dark grey black volcanic tuff. This rock type is formed from compressed volcanic ash and has a fine grained composition; there are no signs of inclusions within the exposed fresh surface, but the axe is very heavy for its size possibly suggesting large iron content. The broken edge is a much lighter colour to the polished surfaces. Tuff is found in Britain and Ireland in a band that runs down the Irish Sea from the Lake District (the Langdale's source Gr…

A broken pointed end of a finely worked bifacial tool of translucent brown flint with light and mid grey inclusions. It has been totally invasively worked. The plan is a pointed symmetrical leaf shape, very much like a leaf arrow head but for a somewhat thicker section. Close to the slightly oblique break the sharp margin has been slightly blunted which suggests that the tool was a kind of knife. The implement is 30.9mm in length, 33.35mm wide, 8.3mm thick and weighs 8.4 grams

County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Four pieces / flakes of tertiary debitage which have been deliberately burnt and used as 'pot boilers' dating from the later Mesolithic and Neolithic periods (4500-2100 BC). The flakes are not well preserved. All the flakes have irregular 'crazed' surfaces which are slightly translucent. The cause of this is most likely to be direct heat and rapid cooling. The most common evidence for this is flint waste and discarded tools being used as 'pot boilers'. As the term suggests this describes a technique common in prehistory for heating water. The use of this flint as a pot boiler would …

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Large irregular oval piece of flint / nodule. There seems to be very little evidence of flaking or retouch present on either of the faces. Any facets present seem to be as a result of plough roll or frost action. This flint is recorded due to the exceptional size of the piece and the presence of other worked flints in the area. It is possible that this piece within the assemblage represents a reserve of flint for tool making; this is especially interesting as flint of this size is rare in the Marches. Measures: 130.2mm length, 77.3mm width, is 57.5mm thick and weighs 740 grams.

A tranchet chisel struck on a tertiary flake of mid brownish grey coloured flint. The artefact is very regular and well made it is likely to be of prehistoric date: Neolithic - Bronze Age (3500-1800 BC). A direct parallel for such a specialist tool has not been found. The chisel is a triangular (wedge) shape in plan and rectangular in cross section. On the ventral face conchoidal ripples can be seen - from this the direction of the initial rough out blow can be identified; this is at right angles to the work on the dorsal face. The two long edges are near vertical and cleaved , on one…

An irregular blade like flake of tertiary debitage, probably earlier Neolithic (3500 -2500 BC) in date. In plan the flake is sub-triangular and the ventral face has possibly been retouched with what seem to be even regular steep angled removals- other edges have what looks to be abrupt retouch although given the condition of the flake it is possible that some of this is abrasion through plough roll. The flake is a mid grey colour with areas of white coloured mottling. The flake measures 36.5mm length, 21.0mm width, is 5.5mm thick and weighs 3.27 grams.
