Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A large broad backed blade like flake of igneous stone - dolerite (grantite). The flake is broadly rectangular in shape and lentoid in cross section. In form the two long edges of the dorsal and ventral faces has been worked / knapped to form a very crude serrated edge. The retouch is crude and applied with a hard hammer. Likewise the flake seems to have been struck from a larger prepared core using a single blow from a hard hammer. One end is broken and patinated suggesting damage in antiquity. Antiquaruian sources indicate that similar tools have been recovered from archaeologica…

Four large fragments of un-worked flint. Probably either un-worked raw product possibly selected to be utilised as cores. These have been recorded for the sake of completeness as they were collected along with the other material from the same general area and that flint only occurs in riverine and glacial deposits in Shropshire / Herefordshire area. The Objects measure: Length: 54.50mm, Width: 34.44mm, Thickness: 17.55mm, Weight: 30.7 grams Length: 42.08mm, Width: 25.42mm, Thickness: 17.74mm, Weight: 19.4 grams Length: 46.70mm, Width: 23.13mm, Thickness: 9.57…

An abraded tertiary debitage waste flake of probable later Neolithic date (4500-2500 BC) which has been utilised to form a very crude scraper. The flake is broadly oval shape in plan with a wedge shaped cross section. The retouch has been applied tot he curved original long edge on the dorsal face only and is best described as short, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt. The thick butt like face has three parallel sided flake removals - it is possible that this might suggest that the flake is from a reutilised core. The flint is a mid-grey colour. It is likely that this secondary retouch is a…

Three abraded tertiary debitage waste flakes struck from a prepared core of Neolithic date (4000-2000 BC). The three flakes are broadly a rectangular shape in plan and both have various opposing removals on the upper dorsal faces. All three flakes have retouch applied to the one surviving original long edge on the dorsal face only; here it creates a crescent shaped removal which is reworked with retouch that is best described as short, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt. The extent and competency of this retouch varies. Such notches are associated with functional tools to strip material fro…

A snapped piece of tertiary debitage The flake is snapped along its upper edge having been struck from a prepared core. The butt, striking platform and bulb of percussion are all present on the ventral face. The ventral face is also reworked with a deliberate thin blade like flake being removed to form a cutting edge / facet on one long edge, which is further worked with neat parallel sided low angled short removals. The opposing long edge has similar retouch again applied on the ventral edge. The flake is most likely to have been used as either a knife, scraper or possibly some form …

A Mesolithic or Neolithic flint secondary flake or blade. The flake is broken at both ends and based upon the difference in patina at the break this was apparently done in antiquity. In section the flake or blade is trapezoidal, and in plan it is almost square. The flake measures 9.83mm long, 12.47mm wide, 1.82mm wide and weighs 0.3 grams. As the length is shorter than the width of the object, the identification of it being a blade is uncertain, therefore described as a flake. It dates to the Mesolithic or Neolithic periods (-8300 - -2900).

A large flint flake, probably Mesolithic, and possibly a flake removed during core rejuvenation. There appears to be negative removal scars on two sides of the flake. There are two small areas of cortex remaining on the flake, one of which occurs at what seems to have been the striking platform. There is no clear evidence for the flake having been subject to further retouch after it was removed from the core. The flint is a grey to cream in colour with areas of brown ochre. The remaining cortex is a darker brown in colour. It measures 45.7 mm in length, 23.7 mm wide, 12 mm thick and w…

A Mesolithic flint flake. The flake may have some retouch at the proximal end, although it is also possible that this is associated with prepration of the striking platform on the core prior to the knapping of the flake. There appears not to be any further evidence for retouch. The flint has a cream patina. It is sub-triangular in section and measures 19.91 mm long, 6.78 mm wide, 1.77 mm thick and weighs 0.2 grams.

A flint flake, probably Mesolithic in date. The flake does not appear to have been deliberately retouched along either lateral edge. There may be retouch at the distal end, although it is possible that this occurred whilst the flake was still attached to the core. The flake is slightly cortical at the proximal end.

A flint flake, probably Mesolithic in date. What appears to be retouch along one edge is probably more recent damage as there is a clear discrepancy between the brown/ochre patina of the surface of the flake and the grey patina at this edge. It measures 38.88 mm long, 17.07 mm wide, 8.68 mm thick and weighs 4.7 grams.

The flake measures 25.5 mm long, 15.94 mm wide, 4.84 mm thick and weighs 2.0 grams. It is sub-triangular in section.
