Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Later Neolithic flint arrowhead The arrowhead is incomplete (with a surviving length of 34.9mm, a basal width of 25.5mm, a maximum thickness of 4.2mm and a weight of 2.6g), missing a barb and appears to have been of oblique type The arrowhead is made on a partially patinated and non-cortical flint with the patination confined to the upper (tip) half. The arrowhead has been carefully and skilfully pressure-flaked on both faces but with more peripheral working on the ventral surface. The basal edge is retouched and gently concave.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete snapped flint blade of probable later Mesolithic or early Neolithic date (6000BC - 3500BC). The flint tool, probably best described as a knife, is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross section. The blade has been snapped and only the upper part survives; this break is intentional and from the period of use. The bulb of percussion is lost on the lower (ventral) face as is the prepared knapping platform on the upper (proximal) edge. The upper (dorsal) face of the blade has a number of clear facets and ridges. The long edges are both retouched on both the…

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cobble-sized irregular lump of flint with several areas of crushing suggestive of past use as a hammerstone. It also appears that at least one flake may have been struck from it. A roughly triangular area of whitish cortex survives on one surface, elsewhere the flint ranges in colour from cream to light green-grey to green-black. A chance find whilst metal detecting (Jeff Spencer, CPAT, January 2015).

An Early to Middle Neolithic knife knapped from a mid-brown coloured flint dating to circa 4000 - 3500 BC. The flint object is D shaped in plan and is knapped from a secondary flake. The dorsal face has been re-worked on the straight edge from the proximal to distal end. The retouch is long, stepped and semi-abrupt. The opposing long edge has cortex present covering 50% that would have enabled the flint to be handled and used as a knife. The other 50% of the long edge has a 'backed edge' with abrupt retouch. The distal end on the dorsal face has been knapped to form a point. The ventr…

Two small flint Blades, The smaller flake is pale brown and shows primary working and small amount of indentines to the tip. The larger blade is pale grey and shows both primary and secondary retouching and may have been longer as there is a break width ways across the wider end. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The small blade measures 12 x 9.76 x 1.75mm and weighs 0.22 gm. The large blade measures 24.48 x 12.1 x 3mm and weighs 0.75 gm

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small piece of tertiary flint debitage of either later Mesolithic or Neolithic date (6500-1800BC). The flake is very pale grey and has not been retouched to form a separate tool. It is possible that the flake is a small bladelet taken from a Mesolithic core - as all the working is in the same direction; although the piece is too small to be diagnostic. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The flake measures 13.61mm length, 9.81mm width, is 2.04mm thick and weighs 0.26 grams.

Five pieces of small flint debitage of probably Neolithic date. All the flakes show primary and secondary working. Four flakes are burnt and the largest piece appears to be polished which may indicate a discarded flake from a larger reworked tool, such as an axe or knife. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The pieces measure 1. 11.7mm length, 11mm width, is 2.32mm thick and weighs 0.23 grams. 2. 17mm length, 12mm width, is 6.75mm thick and weighs 1.43 grams. 3. 19.43mm length,…

Large flint core / primary flaked nodule of probable Neolithic date, The core is formed on a poor quality nodule of flint which has a large amount of cortex and dark grey coloured inclusions. The surface also has significant areas of multiple holes/depressions. The core has 2 primary bulbs of percussion and may have been discarded as being of too low grade for further working. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The discovery of such large pieces of unworked / unprocessed flint is highly …

A blade, possibly a burin / boring tool, formed on a mid grey coloured flint. The point of percussion is on the narrow pointed end. The ventral face shows signs of minor retouching on both the longer sides, the dorsal face has 1 central ridge and shallow angled sides with cortex remaining with retouching on the same faces as the ventral side plus tertiary retouching to the tip. This suggests it may be a combination blade / boring tool. The shape suggests that it may be the distal end of a larger blade but the patination on the sheared steep faced end would age the break to occuring in…

A small blade, possibley a burin / boring tool, formed on a pale grey coloured flint. The point of percussion is on the narrow pointed end. The dorsal face shows signs of retouching on one short side only, and has a small crested central ridge with shallow angled sides. This suggests it may be a combination blade / boring tool. Their is a good patination to the flint. The size and form of the tool suggests a later Mesolithic date - however it was found amongst a scatter of flints dating to the mid to late Neolithic date. The flint measures 35.5mm length, 22.71mm width, is 4.38mm…

A large scraper formed from a broad / wide blade knapped from a pale grey coloured flint . The ventral face shows a bulb of percussion and series of choncoidal ripples. The dorsal face has multiple flake facets / scars. Three of the sides have short abrupt retouching whilst the other has a shallower angled retouch. This suggests it may be a combination tool used for cutting and scraping. The large size of the tool may suggest a late Neolithic or early Bronze age date, this is also reflected in flints of these periods found in the nearby vicinity. The flake measures 51.39mm length, …
