Record ID: CPAT-F21E17
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a small assemblage of five pieces of secondary and tertiary flint debitage, probably of Neolithic origin, from the Walton Basin. This find consists of five pieces of debris - three of flint and two of what would appear to be chert. One piece, Cc, has considerable surface crazing indicative of exposure to fire.The total weight of this assemblage is 12.1g and the largest piece (Ca) in chert, measures 31x14.3x11.7 and has a bi-colour cream/grey surface with numerous small dark brown inclusions.

This is a large assemblage of twenty pieces of secondary/tertiary Neolithic flint debitage from the Walton Basin. This collection has a total weight of 34g and consists of mainly flint debris, chips and a few flakes, with a mix of chert. The colours vary from a pale cream to a dark brown and most have small inclusions and or, colour banding within the material. One small piece (Na) has remnants of the cortex in situ.

This is a collection of eight pieces of secondary/tertiary Neolithic flint debitage from the Walton Basin. The total weight of the collection is 14.5g with the largest piece (Ea) measuring 44.1x21.5x5.9mm. That piece has the look of a blade and there is some evidence, albeit weak, of a bulb of percussion and ‘in ground’ damage or just possibly, reworking of to one edge. This assemblage consists of flint and chert with colours varying from dark brown to a shade of orange each with small inclusions or colour banding.

Record ID: CPAT-F26701
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a small secondary flake, possibly a flint scraper of Neolithic origin. The piece has a diffuse bulb of percussion to the ventral side and some very fine parallel direct re-touch to the rounded edge beneath the cortex. The dorsal side has remaining cortex with negative scars running off the single dorsal ridge. There are a number of conchoidal scars with re-working to the convex edge that cause the piece to resemble a denticulate side scraper.
The piece has a mottled dark to light brown colour and a number of pale cream inclusions.

Record ID: CPAT-F27C56
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a tertiary flint flake that has signs of bifacial reduction. It was found in an area known for its Neolithic past and lack of natural flint, thus we may reasonably consider it to be of Neolithic origin.
There is no clear evidence of a bulb of percussion, there are percussion ripples that radiate concentrically from one end but then there are step scars terminating abruptly in hinge fractures leaving typical scalar negative scarring at the other end. The result is a complex topography, perhaps indicative of this being a ‘work in progress’. There are also small areas of …

Record ID: CPAT-F291F6
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a lithic blade of Neolithic origin. There is a diffuse bulb of percussion at the proximal end with limited undulating ripple. The dorsal surface has a prominent ridge that bisects into two ridges, approximately halfway down the length of the blade and running to the distal edge
The edges have original sub-parallel retouch but then have what might be considered as ‘new’ retouch at some later date that cuts through the pale cream surface of the original work. However, it is entirely possible that the ‘new’ retouch is simply damage from its long life in the soil.
The …

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint debitage flake from the secondary phase of knapping probably dating from the later Neolithic 2900-2100 BC. The flake has a small area of cortex (outer rind) on one edge, and has probably been removed during the second phase of knapping or roughing out. It is broadly oval in plan and lentoid in cross section. It has been removed as a piece of waste in one clear blow, this has left a clear point of percussion and conchoidal fractures on the ventral (lower) face. The waste flake has been reworked around the outer curved edge where a series of small regular flakes being removed to c…

Record ID: NMGW-C3B1CA
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Prehistoric polished flint axe probably of Later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date
The axe is of unusual slender and rectangular-sectioned form and is near-complete with just some damage to the blade edge (with a length of 150mm and a weight of 190.6g). The butt is rectangular (22.8mm wide and 13.1mm thick), below which the sides are straight and near-parallel, slightly divergent (for 35mm, where the axe has a width and thickness of 24.8mm and 19.5mm respectively). The sides are then more divergent but moderately straight to the blade edge. The blade edge (with a width of 52.6mm…

Record ID: CPAT-5EA735
Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
This object is a Mode 2: Acheulian handaxe of the Lower Palaeolithic. Mode 2 tools being worked symmetrically on both sides indicating greater care in the production of the final tool. The axe is a pointed oval shape and bifacially worked. It is made from a grey cream mottled flint, now patinated with orange/ochre. All the edges are clearly worked and there appears to be a small section of cortex (or an inclusion) on the centre of one face. The smooth polished surface of the axe is the result of having been abraded over the millennia. It has the classic gravel staining of having been …

Record ID: CPAT-073E64
Object type: GUNFLINT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a flint piece from a post medieval flintlock musket or pistol. The piece has the typical oblong form with a chisel edge. The long sides have been re-touched and shaped with numerous conchoidal scars to form the straight edges. These flints were in use from the early 17th century into the early 19th century.
The material is a mid brown flint with sparse dark inclusions.
