Pale grey flint debitage fragment. A narrow straight-sided flake with long narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side and with an undulating ventral surface; a white patina has developed over struck surfaces suggesting the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment. Chips a either end reveal the original tint of the flint, which is probably from the Lincolnshire Wolds. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC

Black flint debitage fragment. A small irregular chunk with parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side. A dense white patina has accumulated across all surfaces, removed by later damage to expose the underlying tint of the flint.

Flint debitage. Six tiny [of lengths between 24.5mm to 9.4mm] flakes with scars from the removal of narrow or parallel flakes from their dorsal sides, and with flat or bulbar ventral surfaces.

Probably mid-brown flint debitage. A thin flake with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a flat ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge. Fire-crazed overall. A creamy patina lost at a chip at one end [which reveals the tint of the flint] may suggest that the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment, and hence that it may have been imported to its find spot, which is not on chalk.

Patinated flint debitage with some iron-stained spots. Seven thin flakes [of lengths between 33.8mm and 20.3mm], all with long narrow parallel flakes struck from their dorsal surfaces. The dorsal surfaces are either flat or, for the three smallest flakes, slightly concave. The patina may indicate the objects have endured exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk, this might hint at the importation of chalk and flints, as for building, road-making or marling, in which artefacts were accidentally incorporated.

Possible flint piercer/arrowhead, of prehistoric dates. Due to its shape, and some retouching, it was likely earmarked to be a tool, but discarded pre-usage. The dark colour of the flint, and its workmanship suggest that it is likely of Neolithic origin. The flint is 90% of a white cloudy patina, and 10% of its surfaces showed signs of iron staining.
This is a common occurence on the Land's End peninsula, where we regularly find flint scatters, representing extremely long periods of occupation.
Dimensions: Length, 56.21mm, width (max), 25.39mm, thickness, 5.85mm. Weight: 10g.

It looks to be a flint implement, but due to some retouching, may possibly have been used as a scraper. The dark colour of the flint, and its workmanship suggest that it is likely of Neolithic origin. You can see the cracking ripples on its ventral surface, as well as two patches of cortex, which suggests that it was originally a tertiary flake. It has a dark grey-black patina on 90% of its surface, and the remaining 10% cortex is of a mid white-brown colour.

The object is worked from a tertiary flake of light grey flint with occasional medium grey patches. The flake is sub-triangular in plan and sub-triangular to trapezoidal in cross section. At least four negative removal scars are present on the dorsal face, some running in a linear fashion parallel to each other. The ventral face is almost perfectly flat. The longest side of the triangle has possible retouch, suggesting it may have been used as a scraping …

Flint debitage; as it is not a tool, it is difficult to securely date this object. However, flint from Beer Head in Devon is typically of a dark grey/black hue, much like this flake, and does not seem to have been imported into Cornwall until the Neolithic period. As such, this flint flake, if indeed Beer Flint, is likely to date to the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods.
It was found in moderate proximity to Carn Kenidjack; a hill covered in prehistoric megaliths, including Tregeseal Stone Circle.
