A collection of two flint core fragments probably dated to the Later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period. Core 1 is a medium sized single platform conical flint core, probably dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000-2400 BC). The core is of a medium grey with frequent off-white mottled conclusions. It has small patches of orange staining from local iron deposits in the soil. It is approximately D-Shaped in plan, profile and cross section. The striking platform has a single flake removal taken horizontally to provide a flat and even striking surface.The flakes taken from the outsid…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of possible Late Neolithic to Bronze Age date, c. 3000-1000 BC. The scraper is worked from a tertiary flake of medium grey flint with medium sized lighter grey patches. It has a semi-glossy patna. The flake is sub-oval in plan almost a horseshoe shape, and sub-trapezoidal in cross section. The striking platform survives but the bulb of percussion has been lost to irregularly fracturing across much of the ventral face. At least two negative removal scars from the same direction are present on the dorsal face. The scraper has short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt re-…

Object type: SERRATED IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic knapped and retouched flint tertiary blade dating to c. 4000 - 2100 BC. The blade has a small platform and bulb of percussion at the proximal end and comes to a point at the distal end. There are very clear, almost v shaped, ripples of percussion across the lower half of the ventral face. Three are three earlier flake removals on the dorsal face indicate that similar blades were removed from the same core. On the ventral face there is significant short, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt retouch on the right side mesal edge creating notches with plain areas between. This deliberat…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a probably Mesolithic flint blade, probably dating to the period c.9000-4000BC. It is a secondary piece with one small patch of pebble cortex surviving near its proximal end. The artefact is rectangular with a triangular cross section. The dorsal face has two negative blade scars from previous removal. One of the mesal edges have areas of chipping. There is a snap at the proximal end, thus removing the striking platform and bulb of percussion. The flint is a medium grey with areas of mottled white. The pebble cortex is a medium brown and orange colour. The lithic is 21.8mm …

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A single flake of knapped flint of possible Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date. The object is a tertiary flake of medium grey flint with frequent mottled white and light brown inclusions. The striking platform, a bulb of percussion and a small percussion scar survive. There are shallow ripples emendating from these on the ventral surface. Several earlier removals of varying width are visible on the dorsal surface of the flint.There is evidence for short, semi-abrupt, scalar retouch on the left edge of the flake on the dorsal surface.and possibly on the opposite edge on the ventr…

Object type: MACE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete perforated cobble "mace head" or pebble hammer of probable Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The mace head is a well rounded oblong in plan, sub-rectangular in profile and sub-oval in cross-section with three sides that have a rounded central ridge and rounded corners. It may have been a beach pebble that had a natural hole which was then exploited to create the mace. The majority of the object is covered in thick, natural, original cortext but it has been broken and worked on two adjoining sides, exposing the flint. The side with the flint exposed completely has a straig…
