Record ID: PUBLIC-4FD243
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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

Record ID: HESH-9EBAF6
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small blade of tertiary debitage (from the third / final phase of tool making) of Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The blade is struck from small flint core; it is rectangular in plan; being triangular in section, and has not been reworked / retouched. The dorsal faces of some of the flakes show ridges and flake scars from previous removals whilst the reverse / ventral face shows conchoidal ripples
The blade measures:
Length, 14.8mm, width 12.3mm, thickness 1.7mm and weighs 0.31 grams

Record ID: HESH-9ED253
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…

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.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. This arrowhead has been knapped from a uniform grey coloured piece of flint. The arrowhead is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. It has been knapped using a number of different techniques, including direct and indirect percussion, as well as pressure / ripple / invasive flaking. It is unsymmetrical in shape with one barb being lost. The break is old and patinated suggesting damaged in antiquity. Both the long sides of the arrowhead have been retouched to create sharp edges - this retouch is bes…

Record ID: CPAT-303C01
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small chipped and polished Neolithic flint axehead with a sharp, curving blade and sides that taper towards the rounded butt, which has also been polished. In cross-section it is an irregular oval but with faceting where the chips haven't been polished out. The polishing is more pronounced towards the blade and butt.
Complete but for 2 or 3 small chips out of the blade.
The colour of the flint is mostly green (of several shades) but with patches of grey.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flint flake, mottled grey-green in colour, with an isolated area of retouch on the ventral surface partly removing the bulb of percussion and possibly to aid hafting by creating a tang. The forward edge is sharp and has been formed by removal of a single flake, the left hand edge is smooth and may have been polished. A possible transverse arrowhead.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete late Neolithic oblique flint (ripple-flaked oblique) arrowhead. This arrowhead has been knapped from a fine good quality matt grey piece of flint. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section; the tip, side barb and tang have all been lost; the breaks are recent and unabraded. The arrowhead has been knapped using a number of different techniques, including direct and indirect percussion, as well as being retouched using pressure / ripple / invasive flaking best caracterised as covering, parallel low angled retouch. This flaking is of the highest qual…

Early Bronze Age flint barbed and Tanged arrowhead
The arrowhead is incomplete, missing the tang (with a length of 21.7mm, a surviving width of 16.4mm, a thickness of 4.2mm and a weight of 1.2g). The arrowhead is bifacially worked, with extensive pressure flaking on the convex dorsal surface and with edge retouch (scaled and stepped) on the flat ventral surface. The dark-grey flint is non-cortical and largely unpatinated.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
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.
