Record ID: PUBLIC-4E4372
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A group of 65 miscellaneous tools and utilised flint and chert flakes of many kinds from a 2 hectare field amongst a total of 850 worked flint fragments including waste and utilised pieces and tools. The flints have individual GPS records to a few metres accuracy which form a cluster extending beyond but centred in the field close to a brook at the edge of its flat alluvial plain and slightly above. The flints form a broad funnel to a crossing point and continue less frequently on the other side. There is no modern obvious preferential ford but fallen branches make natural bridges and…

Record ID: PUBLIC-CC9546
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A pyramidal flake removed from a multi-platform core or from thinning a biface. It contains a coarser inclusion in the flint.The colour is opaque cream and this may be patination or the original colour but there is a suspicious pinkish hue and some dark red 'splotches'. Furthermore where the edge of the tool has been slightly abraded, the small flake scar has a distinctive lustrous smooth surface. This with the lack of spalling or crazing of the structure suggests deliberate, slow and controlled heat treatment of the flint. There are dozens of examples of this in the Clodgy Moor area.…

Workflow stage: Published Find published
A microlith formed on a bladelet of grey brown flint. The left margin has been abruptly retouched and blunted along its length forming a point at the distal end. The right margin is unretouched and sharp with a small natural nick in the edge. It may have been hafted with the blunt edge set with resin into a groove in a wood or bone tool. Butler(2005) illustrates a small lanceolate piece on page 101, fig 39, 14.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Flint ball, circular in plan, profile and section. There is some pecking on the lower surface of the ball and larger flakes have been removed from one side, suggesting hammerstone or pestle use. Such pieces do turn up on domestic sites but not in any quantity compared to mullers and rubbers. The flint pebble surface is worn and pitted, with some iron staining, and was probably selected from a beach during the Neolithic. The beach selection would ensure hard enduring pieces. It is quite possible that the wear on these objects has been caused by grinding pieces in the axe manufacture pr…

Flint flake from a polished axehead (Alison Roberts, Ashmolean Museum, pers comm), pentagonal in plan with parallel oblique margins, and lozenge-shaped in profile and in section, with a central medial ridge. The proximal end retains the bulb of percussion on the ventral face and the distal end has been truncated by a hinge fracture on the ventral face, which restricts the re-use of this edge. There is a thin section of the polished edge remaining on the upper left margin of the dorsal face. The left margin of the ventral face has some retouch towards the hinge fracture, but this is ha…

Flint knife, sub-rectangular in plan, plano-convex in profile and triangular in section, with a central medial ridge. The original blade has been rolled in the sea so that it is water-worn, and then retouched after this event, as the scars on the margins of the blade cut through the earlier worn surface. The butt end has gone but the piece is well made (Alison Roberts pers comm). The knife is retouched on all margins of the dorsal face, but mainly on the lower halves of the left and right margins of the ventral face, towards the proximal end, probably for hafting. The bulb of percussi…
