County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A prehistoric worked flint tool. The tool has been made from a knapped blade which measures 49.29 mm long, 19.5 mm wide and 6.63 mm thick. It weighs 6.4 grams). It is sub-triangular in section. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are clearly visible at the proximal end. The blade has been retouched on both lateral edges and at the distal end. The distal end terminates in a point and the right lateral edge projects down from the point at a diagonal angle of approximately 300 degrees. This angular section has been retouched and may have resulted from the removal of a spall in o…

A knapped flint or chert scraper. The flint or chert is a mid red/brown colour with red/beige patches. In plan it is a sub-drop shape. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around the side and lower edges, the base of the drop shape. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The angle of the retouch is c. 60 degrees. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has bulbar scars as well as the bulb and concentric rings. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 36.98mm long and is 28.64mm wide. It weighs 10.6g. The scraper…

One flint is a scraper on a flake, exhibiting retouch along both lateral edges and the distal end. It measures 31.31 mm long 26.18 mm wide, 10.05 mm thick and weighs 10.1 grams. The flint used is pale to dark grey in colour. A second flake may also have been used as a scraper, and this one also has retouch along both lateral edges and its distal end. It measures 22.95 mm long, 20.95 mm wide, 5.61 mm thick and weighs 2.6 grams. The flint used is a pal…

A prehistoric flint object, probably a Neolithic or Bronze Age scraper. The flint appears to have a bulb of percussion and bulb scar at the proximal end, and retouch has been applied to the distal end, applied from both ventral and dorsal faces. The flint is a cream to grey colour with ochre brown in places. The flint is not clearly diagnostic of a closely defined prehistoric period, and is likely to be Neolithic or Bronze Age in date, dating from circa 4000 to 1500 BC. If more diagnostic artefacts were recovered from the same area, this might allow suggestion of a more closely define…

A prehistoric knapped flake, probably of Neolithic or early Bronze Age in date. The flint has a clear bulb of percussion at the proximal end as well as a striking platform. There are also negative scars on the dorsal surface where other flakes have been removed. Possibly very fine retouch is visible on the left edge, although this may have been caused by abrasion. The tip has been broken off, and judging by the even patina on the flake this seems to have occurred some time ago, although whether this occurred in prehistory is difficult to determine. The flint is a mottled ochre brown i…

A worked flint flake of prehistoric date. The flake has a clear bulb of percussion and striking plaform at the proximal end as well as a bulbar scar on the ventral face. The flake exhibits what may possibly be retouch on both left and right edges, although there is a strong possibility that this 'retouch' is the result of accidental damage caused during use of the flake as a cutting tool or even after deposition.This is suggested by its slightly irregular spacing with only small areas of both sides exhibiting retouch, along with a lack of any clear functional reason for the applicato…

A flint flake, with retouch on the distal end, possibly dating from the neolithic period (3500 BC to 2100 BC). The function of the tool is uncertain. This is a secondary flake, with approximately 10% cortex on the dorsal surface. At the proximal end is the striking platform. The ventral face has a bulb of percussion, and ripples of the conchoidal fracture run down the surface. Ripples on the dorsal surface are broadly unidirectional. Viewed in plan, the distal end is uneven. There is a projection to one side, with retouch on both sides of the distal edge (low angle of retouch,…

Flint flake with probable retouch. Possibly Neolithic - Iron Age. Mass: 12.6g; length: 56mm, width: 24mm; thickness: 12mm. Brown and off-white flint. There is a conchoidal fracture radiating from a point towards the distal end of the ventral face - possibly a weak point at which the flint fractured. An aris runs down the centre of the dorsal face. There is probable retouch at the distal end, on the tip and on the prjection on one edge of the of the ventral face, and also at the proximal end. There are other scars which represent damage from the time the flake spent in the ground.
