Record ID: CORN-3E33D4
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint lithic implement, possibly a blade, dating from the Neolithic to Bronze Age period, c. 4000 BC-1800 BC. The blade is narrow and sub-rectangular in plan with a pointed tip. The blade has a serrated edge but the facets and the dorsal face show no signs of a strucked flint apart from a small notch at one end. The serrations could be due to plough damage but the flint seems to show signs of a considered design. The flint is a light - dark grey with patches of orange colouration. Measurements: Length, 37.24mm; Width, 10.51mm; Thickness, 4.35mm; Weight, 1.6g

Flint projectile point, possibly a spearhead rather than a large arrowhead, with unimarginal worked edges on all margins of the dorsal face. There is continuous retouch around the entire margin, with a large flake removed on both faces at the proximal end, removing part of the bulb of percussion on the ventral face and creating a thinner profile for hafting. The distal end is pointed and slightly to the right of the medial line. The vental face is untouched, unlike various piercing tools of the time, apart from the flake removed to facilitate hafting. The flint is a mottled grey to bu…

Flint saw, trapezoidal in plan, rectangular in profile and triangular in section. There is finer retouch on the right margin of the dorsal face, creating the serrated edge used for sawing, and the left margin is backed for handling. The proximal end has been snapped off at the bulb of percussion and there is a layer of cortex remaining on the dorsal face at both the proximal and at the distal end, suggesting that this is a primary flake. These two patches of cortex are connected by the medial ridge which runs almost parallel with the left margin, as it is also slightly curved. The dis…

A group of 43 worked flints, cores and waste flint fragments found in a period of 105 minutes on bare ground on the access strips in a daffodil bulb field. The scatter concentrates towards a bend in a brook with the closest approach foiled by field boundary and country lane. Back from the stream the flints peter out to nearly zero then increase to where the stream is crossed again and the 850+ scatter recorded as CORN-3A0FF2 etc on the other side. The small group recorded here as far as can be seen includes elements from The Mesolithic through to the Bronze Age and is likely another …

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…

Elongated piece of translucent light brown coloured flint with a cream inclusion. Te dorsal face exhibits a single medial ridge running from the proximal to distal edges. The distal edge terminates as a point, with both sides appearing to have been struck, to produce the point. The ventral face is smooth in appearance with no obvious indication of retouch around it edges. This piece could be described as a failed burin, piercer, or tanged tool. Very small but indeterminate tool.

Rectangular shaped piece of mid grey coloured flint. The proximal edge appears abraded and uneven, the distal edge is also uneven but this could be due to a fault within the material on the left side of the edge. The left and right margins are blade like in appearance and could have been utilised as such. The dorsal face is typical in appearance of a piece of material having been removed from a core side. Exhibiting several negative scars on the face. The ventral face is relatively smooth in appearance and texture, a bulb of percussion is still present at the proximal end with some co…

Oval piece of flint which has been subject to intense heat, the dorsal face retains approximately 30% cortex covering which is reddish in colour, probably as a result of heat exposure. The flint itself is two tone grey in colour and exhibits faults and fractures throughout its surface. The cortex is smooth to the touch and typical of material associated with beach pebbles. The edges are ragged and uneven, no obvious indication of retouch along any edge although this could be hidden due to the damage caused by the exposure to intense heat.

Translucent grey coloured piece of flint, plano convex in profile. This piece originated from a core, which was then converted from a flake into what appears to be a serrated blade. The proximal edge appears straight and untouched, while the right and left margins, certainly the left margin has been subject to light retouch along its edge, the right margin isn't so obvious. The upper part of the right margin and distal edge appears flat in profile and may have been broken off the edge is dull implying an older break.

Flint flake, near lozenge-shaped in plan, bi-convex in profile and section. On the ventral face there is semi-abrupt retouch on the lower right margin. There is a notch between the medial section and distal end on the right margin. It is truncated at the distal end and there is retouch at the proximal end. It is possibly a broken, oblique arrowhead. The flint is dark grey and there is secondary cortex. Keene (1999) shows a similar broken arrowhead on page 25, Figure 14, Number L1.

Oval shaped piece of mid grey flint with cortex rim on the distal and right margins. There is no obvious sign of retouch on this piece, with the exception of the proximal edge which appears to be the remains of an old striking platform of a core. The left margin appears blade like in appearance and is still sharp to the touch. The cortex appears rough in texture but its appearance is consistent with beach material. The ventral face is uneven in appearance and appears to still retain a bulb of percussion, some conchoidal rippling is present in the surface of the material.

A very small piece of dark brown flint with cream inclusions, the dorsal face right side has a band of cortex running from the proximal to distal edges. With the left margin remaining clean and sharp in appearance. This piece could be looked upon as either a piece of debutage, or broken microlith. The distal edge appears more rounded than the proximal edge which may have been deliberate, the proximal edge could have been snapped off, but the edges appear smooth. The ventral face is smooth in appearance, and their does appear to be conchoidal rippling in the surface of the material.

Pear shaped piece of translucent brown coloured flint, with some cortex remaining on the dorsal face. The cortex is smooth to the touch and appears consistent with beach material. This appears to be a refresh flake from a core, which could have been utilised as a blade. The right margin is primarily cortex material although does possess a sharp edge, no indication of retouch. The proximal edge in an abraded or broken point and could have been the remains of a piercer point, although no evidence to substantiate this. The left margin is blade like, but appear broken along it edge …

Uneven piece of flint, light to mid grey in colour, appears to be a waste flake but does exhibit what appears to be some retouch, the distal edge has a protruding point on the left side which could be used as a piercer. The notch in the middle of the distal edge also implies possible usage as a graver. On the left margin their is a section of flint above the medial which protrude from the dorsal face which appears to have some serrations in the surface. The ventral face is smooth in texture and exhibits a large bulb of percussion, no strong indication of retouch on this surface.
