Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible discoidal knife, of off-white patinated flint, made from a “potlid” or natural thermal fracture with thin, weathered sandy coloured cortex to the dorsal face, the ventral face is a typical thermal fracture. Potlid fractures like this with what appears to be retouch to the thin edges are usually dismissed as being not man-made, however in this instance the more curved edge of the two appears to have had a succession of bifacial flakes driven from it, in one spot the flakes pass through a fossil inclusion, in contrast, the straighter of the two ed…

Flint possible scraper. A small chunk with a flat flake struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect may follow a curving edge, though if so, it has been battered. A dense patina overall suggests the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk it may have been imported, perhaps with marl or building materials. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 27.5mm, Width: 33.2mm, Thickness: 12.3mm, Weight: 10.99gms

Black flint debitage fragment. A small irregular chunk with parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side. A dense white patina has accumulated across all surfaces, removed by later damage to expose the underlying tint of the flint. The patina may suggest the object has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk it may have been imported.

Pale grey and patinated flint possible debitage. Six irregular flakes [of lengths 44.3mm-19.3mm] with scars from the trimming of flakes from their dorsal sides, and the largest – which is also lightly heat-damaged - with angled scalar retouch across the bulb on its ventral surface. Three other flakes including the smallest fragment have bulbar ventral surfaces. Where a creamy patina has developed across the struck surfaces the objects may have been imported from an area where they had endured exposure to a calcareous environment; the find-spot is not on chalk.

Pale grey-buff flint with cortex spot, debitage. Two small struck chips [length 23.4mm and 19.5mm]. The longer sub-triangular flake bears invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect and has a rippled ventral surface.

Flint possible scraper. A small thick sub-rectangular chunk with narrow flakes removed from its rounded dorsal surface and with a concave hollow on its ventral surface which would serve as a thumb rest; one side is flat. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one short straight edge, here taken to have been the working edge. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Early Neo…

County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible flint piercer/arrowhead, of prehistoric dates. Due to its shape, and some retouching, it was likely earmarked to be a tool, but discarded pre-usage. The dark colour of the flint, and its workmanship suggest that it is likely of Neolithic origin. The flint is 90% of a white cloudy patina, and 10% of its surfaces showed signs of iron staining. This is a common occurence on the Land's End peninsula, where we regularly find flint scatters, representing extremely long periods of occupation. Dimensions: Length, 56.21mm, width (max), 25.39mm, thickness, 5.85mm. Weight: 10g.
