A complete flint knife of broad Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age date (10000-1500BC). Knives of this type do not have distinctive period characteristics, with long flakes, unretouched cutting edge, and remaining cortex on the opposite edge present on examples from all periods (see Butler 2005). This example is a concavo-convex knife knapped from a secondary flake with cortex remaining on the right edge and previous long flake removals on the dorsal surface. There is a diffuse bulb of percussion and the small striking platform is still present. The left cutting edge in sharp and unretouc…

A complete hollow scraper of Middle Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (3000-1500BC). The implement has been knapped from a tertiary flake with multiple removal scars on the dorsal surface and no remaining cortex. The position of these negative scars provide a convenient place for finger placement to comfortably use the scraper. There is a very large bulb of percussion and clear erailleur scar indicative of the hard hammer technique. At the distal end on the ventral surface there is a small area of short stepped semi-abrupt retouch which shapes the end to a point. On the left edge o…

A complete lithic implement of Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (4000-1500BC). The implement is ovate in both plan and cross-section. It has been knapped from a secondary flake with cortex remaining near the distal end and previous large flake removals on the dorsal surface. The distal end shows heavy stepped abrupt retouch creating a curved edge. There is also short stepped abrupt retouch at the proximal end on the dorsal surface along both edges creating a blunt point. There are also two probable notches, one on each side and with retouch on opposite surfaces. This retouch is shor…

It has been knapped from a secondary flake, with cortex remaining near the point at the distal end. This suggests the original shape of the flake was convenient for a piercer and the knapper used the form to their advantage.

The scraper is sub-rectangular in plan and has been knapped from a primary flake with subsequent thin flakes then removed across the dorsal surface removing areas of cortex. The flake is triangular in cross-section, and appears to have been removed from the edge of a relatively flat core. There is a diffuse bulb of percussion indicative of soft hammer percussion which suggests this scraper is more likely of earlier Neolithic date. Retouch covers the length of the right edge of the ventral surface, short scaled and semi-abrupt to…

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date (circa 4000-2350BC). The implement is most likely a knife, although could be a small Neolithic hand-axe shaped implement known as an 'Ovate' dating to the Late Neolithic (3000-2350BC). However, the implement is not bifacially worked to the extent expected of an Ovate. The implement appears to have been knapped from a primary flake, from which secondary and tertiary flakes have been removed from the ventral surface. The Dorsal face has been worked to remove cortex on the left medial edge, leaving a substantial amount on the right…

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date (4000-2350BC), scrapers are ubiquitous and cannot be assigned to a tighter date within periods. Smaller defined thumbnail scrapers from small squat like flakes tend to be more characteristic of the Early Bronze Age (2350-1600BC). The implement is a thumbnail scraper knapped from a secondary flake, with a long flake removed from the dorsal face providing a surface for finger placement to hold the scraper.

A flint flake. This is a tertiary flake, there is no cortex surviving. It is triangular in cross section with the apex of the triangle at the left edge, the right edge is a flat section. It is possible that this object represents a fragment of a larger flake that has broken lengthways. The proximal end is jagged. The ventral face has a small bulb of percussion but otherwise no evidence of striking. This means it was probably struck with a soft hammer and may therefore date to the Early Neolithic (or earlier). The flake has a hinge termination at the distal end. The dorsal face i…

A flint core which probably dates from the late Neolithic to the Bronze Age. The core is discoidal with flakes having been removed from multiple faces. It appears that knapping has originally taken place from two locations on opposite side of the core, or possibly opposite sides of the same platform. That or those platforms have then been removed by knapping across the width of the core. This means that none of the original striking platforms are visible. A range of flakes of irregular size and shape, a mixture of narrow and broader flakes, appear to have been removed from the c…

The implement is a notched scraper formed from a tertiary flake which is sub-ovate in plan and section. The ventral surface is mostly smooth displaying a bulb or percussion and bulbar scar from which ripples of percussion radiate. The dorsal surface is irregular with long flakes having been removed and a notch is present to the left mesial edge which displays short, abrupt, scaled retouch. The right-hand distal edge has been shaped into a point by spall removal perpendicular to the po…

A complete knapped lithic implement of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, circa 2700 - 1600 BC. The implement is a notched scraper formed from a secondary flake which is Y-shaped in plan and sub-D-shape in section. Both surfaces are irregular and a strip of cortex is retained along the right edge. The curved or notched element which forms the Y-shape displays short, abrupt, scaled retouch. The lack of obvious striking platform and conchoidal fractures suggests this was a naturally shaped flake which was altered to create the notched scraping surface. The flint is a mid-to…

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300BC. The implement is a scraper formed from a tertiary flake which is triangular in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is smooth and the striking platform and bulb of percussion have been removed though ripples are evident. The dorsal surface is irregular with some long flakes having been removed and abrupt to semi-abrupt, short and parallel retouch is present along the left, right and distal edges. The flint is a mid to dark-grey colour with patches of a lighter chalky inclusions and a black see…

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300BC. The implement is a scraper formed from a tertiary flake which is D-shaped in plan and section. The ventral surface is smooth with a visible bulb of percussion from which ripples emanate. The dorsal surface has had two large flakes removed from either side plus an area of extensive working at the distal edge. Abrupt, invasive and sub-parallel retouch is present along all edges forming the scraping surface. The flint is a mid-grey colour with patches of a lighter chalky inclusions. The implement is 40.2mm lon…
