A flint chunk which could be debitage (waste material from flint working) or is possibly a core fragment. It looks to have some blade removals, but it is not as intensively worked as most cores, and is not the normal form. It is extensively patinated.

Flint core of broad Mesolithic/Neolithic date (9000 - 2200 BC). The core has been formed from a light grey coloured piece of flint which has cortex remaining on the unworked face. The core is sub-oval and curved in shape, and oval in section. There are possibly bi-polar striking platforms at opposite ends of the chunk, one being much more obvious than the other due to it's flat surface and possible evidence of platform dressing. Narrow blades have been removed from the worked curved side of the core from both ends by parallel striking. It is 34.1mm long x 27.9mm wide x 15.5mm thick. W…

A possible core rejuvenation flake of unknown date, about 9000 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on patinated to white flint and is sub-triangular in plan. The distal end appears to have been snapped prior to patination. The right egde is part of an earlier striking platform with platform preparation visible on the dorsal face as well as a removal scar. There is possible fine retouch from the ventral face on the left side perhaps indicating that the flake was utilised. The flake is 17.9mm long, 12.2mm wide and 2.4mm thick. 0.52g.

A flint core rejuvenation flake of Mesolithic or Neolithic date, about 9000 BC - 2200 BC. The flake is formed on light grey mottled opaque flint with large white inclusions but no patination. The distal end and left side are battered. The flint is a rounded rectangle in plan and is D shaped in section. It is much thicker at the distal end. There are removals from the proximal end which are the ends of blade removals. They are from the dorsal face, stepped, long and abrupt. The battering damage has caused fractures and crazing of the stone. It is 50.9mm long, 36.4mm wide and 18.3mm thi…

Semi-prismatic core. The flint is generally a mid-grey in colour, but one face appears to have developed a slight white patina suggesting this may have been an original 'natural' surface of the flint pebble prior to working. The other face has areas of rusty brown staining which may be iron oxide deposits from the soil. The flint has been subjected to neat, regular single direction flaking in order to produce parallel-sided flakes or blades. Discussion: The core appears to have been designed to produce blades so it is probably Mesolithic or Neolithic in origin. In shape it is ver…

Possible core, Hard hammer struck flakes removed from a natural thermal (frost) fractured piece of a larger nodule of flint. Most of the flakes have been removed from edges of the dorsal face, this retains a small patch of thin and weathered cortex where the flakes didn't meet in the middle, the ventral face has one invasive hard hammer struck flake scar that terminates in a deep hinge, the other flake scar opposing this is of natural origin. The flint was of mottled grey, now stained patchy orange in bands from exposure to iron oxides. If humanly modified, this piece is undiagnostic …

Red-brown flint with cortex, core. A chunk with broad flakes removed by probably multidirectional hard hammer strike; possibly in discrete episodes, as some struck surfaces appear more weathered than others. This could represent the reuse of a core long after its initial working. Suggested date: Unknown, Late Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age, 7000-1600 BC.

A rounded flint core of unknown dating from Paeleolithic to Neolithic. The flint is of a dark grey with light grey inclusions. One face has an oxidised patination. The core appears to have been struck in several areas. This may have been caused through human activity or through natural causes. The finders have reported finding flint flakes and a possible flint arrowhead in the area which may suggest this was formed by human activity. The object was found during a fieldwalking exercise and so was discovered on the surface. It woud be unusual for such a large piece of core to …

Undated flint discoidal core. Could be Middle Palaeolithic or Neolithic. Discoidal core that has been retouched on the distal end (long, sub-parallel, abrupt) to produce a heavy duty scraper. Made on flint, light greyish-cream opaque patina with iron staining. Discoidal technology although the core looks to have been taking on the form of a Levallois core, with centripetal flaking and a proximal and distal end taking shape.

A possible core trimming of uncertain date, probably between the Mesolithic and early Bronze Age period (c. 8300-1500 BC). The object is pyriform in plan, with a widening sub-triangular cross-section. Light ripples are visible on one face, but the bulb and platform of percussion is missing. No small retouch is visible although there are microlithic removals on what is presumably the semi-circular distal edge. A small strip of cortex remains on the dorsal surface, running from the mesial edge to one of the outer edges, near the distal end. Dispersed fractures on both surfaces revea…
