A flint flake or bladelet of Mesolithic date (c. 9000 - 4000 BC). The flint is grey in colour. It is a secondary flake with a tiny area of cortex on the distal end of the flake remaining. The flake has a glossy surface, with a scattering of pale grey inclusions on the dorsal face. In plan it is sub-rectangular and in cross-section it is sub-triangular. At the proximal end, the bulb of percussion is missing due to a transverse break. However, the conchoidal fracture marks are present on the ventral surface; they are shallow, indicating that a soft hammer has bee…

Flint flake or bladelet of Mesolithic date (c. 9,000 - 4,000 BC). The flint is pale grey, almost white in colour and mostly translucent bar an opaque inclusion at the distal end, which extends about a third of the way down the length of the flint on one side and just a quarter of the length on the other side. There is a transverse break at the distal end. In plan and section the blade is sub-triangular; the proximal end narrows to a rounded point and the striking platform is not visible. It is a tertiary flake with a smal…

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.

Tertiary flake, possibly dating to the Neolithic period. In plan the flake is closest to a rhomboid but for a protrusion of the proximal end where the bulb of percussion is visible. In section there is minimal curvature and only little variations in thickness. The flake is of a warm-grey to brown, and conchoidal ripples are visible on both faces. There is evidence of short parallel retouching on the mesal (noticeable on the right edge when facing the dorsal face).

Incomplete, likely broken from a blade. The segment is 22.8 mm in length from the proximal end up to the point of breakage, which is marked by a clean break across the width. No cortex remains, and the blade segment is primarily a mid-to-light grey colour that is warm in tone. There appears to be some evidence of short retouching which, when facing the ventral side, appears as a serrated left edge and a possibly denticulate right edge. On the ventral face, there are conchoidal ripples visible which emanate from a small bulb of percussion.
