Record ID: HESH-7E9017
Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint microlith, formed from the tip of a snapped blade or flake, of probable later Mesolithic or Neolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The microlith is formed from the tip or point of a blade which has been snapped. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. Both the longer edges are heavily reworked with regular evenly spaced flakes forming a serrated point. It is likely that this microlith would have been set with several others into a tool, such as a harpoon, or multiple toothed blade. The flint is a creamy white colour. It measures 11.9mm in length, 13.2mm width, …

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a small assemblage of three secondary/tertiary pieces of probable Neolithic flint debitage. The total weight of this collection is 18.6g and the largest piece measures 48x29.4x14mm. The material is a hard, dark to light brown flint with lighter, small inclusions. The larger piece has some remaining cortex. All three pieces have conchoidal scars and a number of facets but with no sign of further working.
The area of finds is within the well known Neolithic landscape of the Walton Basin and this assemblage is one of five recent assorted debitage and tool finds from this area.

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.

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.

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 …

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.

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…

Object type: FLINT IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small fragment of flint that has the characteristics of it being the proximal end of a Neolithic flint implement. The ventral surface has a clear bulb of percussion to the proximal end with diffuse percussion ripples across what remains of the ventral surface. The dorsal side has four distinct radial dorsal scars from the central ridge. The artefact then appears to have been broken away from what may have been a blade or conceivably, a prepared faceted butt.
There are signs of retouch to the tip on the ventral side but none to the dorsal side. Although not typical of a scraper, it…

A small flint blade, possibly a fragment of a larger blade. It is perhaps Neolithic in origin, coming as it does, from the Walton Basin in Wales. The bulb of percussion has been removed and there are signs of re-work to the adjacent edges. The dorsal surface has a single ridge/lateral edge which divides into 2 as it extends to the upper edge in the photograph. The ventral surface has percussion ripples along with edge fissures at one end.
The material is a pale cream flint with several minute inclusions with a larger pale inclusion that terminates with a dark edge on the dorsal ridg…

This is an amorphous irregular flint core, probably of Neolithic origin from the Walton Basin in Wales. One side is cortex with the other exhibiting various striking platforms and removal scars to the face. The material appears to be chert with a dark grey core and a light grey surface that may have resulted from exposure to fire.

A lithic flake/implement of probable Neolithic origin. This artefact has the look of a blade, with the remnants of a diffuse bulb of percussion and the conventional dorsal/ventral surfaces. The dorsal surface has a number of negative scars from earlier removal with fissures and abundant concoidal scarring to both long edges. The long edges are, however, quite steep and there is also retouch on the ventral surface at the distal end.
The material is a dark brown/grey flint with numerous inclusions of both darker and lighter material.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A chunk of secondary flint that may have been an implement of Neolithic origin. The section is thick at 11.45mm but there are signs of it having been worked. The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion with bulbar scaring and the dorsal face has two dorsal ridges and scarring with the remnants of cortex. The lower edge has then been re-touched with conchoidal scarring along the edge. In use it would perhaps have been a scraper.
The material is a dark brown flint with small light and dark pinpoint inclusions

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint implement in the form of a blade or knife, with both long edges having been re-touched. The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion with faint rippling beneath. The dorsal surface has central ridge with numerous scars to the remaining surface. The convex edge has normal re-touch.
