Prehistoric probably late Neolithic- Early Bronze Age. Sub-triangular, convex/convex medium size, knapped, variable stripy grey/pale grey tertiary debitage. Bulb of percussion with large platform-formed by a hard hammer and some force with feint conchoidal ripple marks and a prominent stepped distal hinge fracture. There are two main flake beds on the dorsal surface with negative ripples. There are a number of relatively recent edge chips due to agricultural machinery damage rather than retouch. This is likely to date between 2500-1500BC.  Ref. Detector Finds 5, Gordon B…

A flint scraper of likely late Neolithic - early Bronze age (3300 - 1000 BC) date. Description: The scraper is formed from a tertiary flake with a low bulb of percussion on the ventral face and heavily pronounced conchoidal rippling. Scaled semi-abrupt retouch can be seen along half the length of one edge abutting the striking platform. The flint is dark brown fading to light at the edges. Measurements: The object is 53.18mm long, 26.94mm wide, 5.9mm thick and 8.17g in weight.

A rounded flint scraper likely of Neolithic date (c.4000-2000 BC). Description: The scraper is roughly teardrop shaped with a long rounded and wide unworked ventral face. The bulb of percussion and conchoidal scarring (rippling) on the ventral face is quite pronounced which suggests hard hammer technology, usually associated with flint technology of the Palaeolithic and after the middle of the Neolithic. The majority of the edge has short, scaled semi-abrupt retouch struck from the dorsal face. The flint is opaque mid-brown and beige, quite mottled. Measureme…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete perforated quartzite pebble hammer/mace head of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date (c. 9000-1800 BC). Description: The object is made from a smooth waterworn quartzite pebble which, when complete, would have been oval in shape. Approximately 50% remains, with a break across the centre of the perforation, which is hourglass in section, indicating that it was worked from both sides. There is some evidence of pecking on the rounded edge of the object, indicating that it has probably been used as a pebble hammer. On the external surfaces, the quartzite is orange-brown in co…

A complete probable flint or cobble hammerstone of uncertain prehistoric date (c. 4000-700 BC). Description: The object is roughly cylindrical and shaped with a smooth flint-like slightly broader end, which suggests the hand-held part. There is extensive crushing across much of its opposite end of the cylinder surface and on the sides towards the same end of the cylindrical form, suggesting it's possible use as a hammerstone. Although parts of the stone have the smooth appearance of flint, there is much pitting and coarse particles which make up the whole. Measurements: 68.…
