Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Small bifacial core, of impressively patinated black flint with lighter grey inclusions, now light misty grey to one face; the other is mottled brown, both faces have a few rusty iron scrapes. All flake scars are small, but broad and appear to be hard hammer struck. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 700 BC.

Small core, hard hammer flake scars removed from just over half of the natural platform offered by a small thermally fractured piece of flint (pot lid), all removals are quite small and are limited by the size of the core: - now patinated white with pale buff coarse inclusions and spotty iron stains.

Small piece of black flint invasively, bifacially and semi-centripetally to form a keeled core, the last flake to be struck from this core was centrally placed to take advantage of the previous converging flake scars in the fashion of a Levallois core. According to Butler. C, (2005) these are Early Neolithic, c. 4,000 to 3000 BC. Though the writer would have put this example later.

Small nodule of black flint invasively knapped from two platforms, one on each side to produce small blade-like flakes, both of the flaked areas have an internal flaw (running though the flint to the other side) and the blades/flakes must have come off in halves, the core seems to have been abandoned at this point.

Small and stout discoidal core, of sub-plano-convex section with one side deeper than the other. The flint is patined almost white in some areas, with spotty iron stains to both faces, unusually the flint has a natural boundary between striped and swirls, both  of grey and white, recent damage to the edges show the main colour of the flint to have been of darker greys. All flakes appear to be hard hammer struck. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

Discoidal or bifacial core, all flake scars appear to be semi-hard hammer struck, a small area of the original surface has been left on one edge and is unmodified and dull in comparison to the flake scars. It is of generally unpatinated black flint with grey coarse inclusions, there are two small areas of white/light grey patination from limited exposure to alkalis within the soil. One face is flaked in several directions, the other is sequentially flaked from the convex edge towards the opposing side, these flakes are fairly parallel and would have produced small blades before thi…

Small core, of unpatinated dark grey flint with thin, worn cortex to the back or unworked portion. Made from a cylindrical projection from a larger nodule, the platform is formed by a hard hammer transverse blow across the projection (or "pap" or knob cf. Skertchley 1879 fig. 2 page 7), thin blade-like flakes are also hard hammer struck from the platform angles that will allow flake removals until a flaw in the flint and the small size of the core limited the striking of more useful flakes. Late Prehistoric, Neolithic or Bronze Age. 4,000 to 700 BC.

Surface collection of fifty five worked-out cores, All appear to be hard hammer struck and most are opportunistic collections of naturally "frost" fractured fragments of larger nodules worked from several platforms to produce small, sharp flakes, then discarded. All grades of flint are represented in this collection, and the majority are patinated to some degree, either a patchy light grey to almost white in a few cases. Only three are of the "opposed platform" reduction strategy to produce blade-like flakes, with overlapping of the flake scars at the mid-point of the face, a usefu…

Core, made from a large hard hammer struck flake, with a large bulbal scar to the ventral face, and several semi-invasive and centripetally struck hard hammer flakes removed from the dorsal face, also towards the centre of this face is a patch of thermally (frost) fracured surface where the flakes haven't overlapped. Banded flint now patinated white, yellow and orange. Possibly Early Neolithic, cf. Butler (2005) page 120, fig. 47, nuber 6 for a broadly similar dicoidal core.

One small bifacial core, of plano-convex shape, largely due to the shape of the natural thermal (frost) fracture of the nodule that was selected as the "blank" for the core. All flake scars are hard hammer struck and some thin cortex remains to the dorsal face, as does a linear flaw in the flint near the centre, the ventral face retains some of the original thermally fractured face. 56 x 41 x 23 mm. 51g.

Probable core, made from a thermally (frost) fractured piece of mottled grey suface flint with one edge hard hammer struck to detatch short, wide flakes. It bares a resemblance to a large scraper, although the scaping edge is quite irregular with three (now slightly) damaged sharp projections and is unlikely to have functioned as such. Probably Neolithic to Bronze Age.
