A retouched flake of Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date, c. 4000-1600 BC. The chert is light grey in colour with some white inclusions and is opaque. It is a secondary flake with a small area of cortex remaining at the distal end. In plan the flake is sub-triangular, with a narrow striking platform at a pointed proximal end and a wide distal end showing a previous flake removal scar at the base. On the dorsal surface there are previous flake removal scars. Along one edge there is short, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch. On the opposing edge…

A complete Neolithic flint blade, dating to c. 3500-2500 BC. The blade is made on a dark grey, almost black flint. It is sub-rectangular in shape, with a trapezoidal section. There is a small area of deep reddish brown cortex remaining at the proximal end. Some low angled retouch is present on the right hand side, while the left appears damaged. A further sign of reworking is a possible secondary striking platform, possibly to correct an initial knapping error. Measurements: 55mm length, 23mm width, 5mm thickness, weight 11g.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint blade scraper and piece of debitage of Neolithic date, c. 4000- 2350 BC. Both objects are formed of the same dark grey, almost black glossy flint. The scraper is rectangular in shape, and triangular in cross section, and has the appearance of a blade. There is a small patch of pale grey patinisation on the distal end, which is a secondary flake retaining a small patch fo creamy cortex at the proximal end. Steep parallell retouch is present on the right hand side of the blade. It is 46.1mm in length, 16.2mm width, 9.7mm thickness, weight 9.4g. The debitage is la…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete leaf shaped arrowhead of Neolithic date, dating to c. 4000-2500 BC. The arrowhead is formed of a pale grey secondary flake, which has small areas of cream cortex surviving on the dorsal face, in addition to splotches of creamy patinisation present on both the dorsal and ventral faces. It is triangular in cross section, and lozenge shaped in plan, although the lower part of the lozenge is truncated in favour of a slight suggestion of a tang. There is scalar semi-invasive retouch present, particularly on the left hand side towards the proximal end. Measurements…
