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

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three pieces of flint debitage of Neolithic date. The group comprises two unworked tertiary debitage waste flakes and a piece of secondary waste which has been reworked to form a crude scraper. The reworking is limited to a single curved edge and the retouch can be described as short scaled abrupt in nature. All pieces have been abraded in the plough soil. They have a bulk weight of 12.05 grams Retouched secondary debitage measures: 26.6 mm length, 28.8mm width, is 19.7mm thick and weighs 2.45 grams Tertiary debitage: 61.4mm length, 35.0mm width, is 26.9mm thick a…

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…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
A complete leaf shaped arrowhead dating to the early Neolithic period, (circa 3500-2500 BC). The arrowhead is lozenge (pointed oval) in shape and lentoid in cross section. The dorsal and ventral faces of the arrowhead have been extensively and delicately worked with neat well-formed pressure / ripple flakes. There are no visible signs of use. The flint is a poor quality mottled pale grey colour with fine orange veins passing through it. The selection of the flint with this distinctive vein could represent a deliberate aesthetic choice. This example fits well with leaf shaped arrowhead…

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…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unusually thick flint scraper formed on tertiary debitage flake (from the third and final phase of tool making) dating from the later Neolithic or Bronze Age period (3500-2100 BC). The scraper is formed from an oval shaped thick flake of poor quality flint. The ventral face shows conchoidal ripples and the bulb of percussion . The dorsal face has a number of irregular and regular flake scars. Both long edge has been crudely reworked / retouched with small irregular flakes creating by direct percussion creating a poor cutting / scraping serrated edge. Modern abrasion / plough roll h…

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…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper formed on a piece of secondary debitage / waste flake (from the second phase of tool making). The tool dates from the later Neolithic or possibly the Early Bronze Age periods (2900-2100 BC) and is formed from a squat oval flake of relatively high quality flint. In profile and in cross section it is D shaped. The ventral face shows conchoidal ripples a point and bulb of percussion . The base / distal end has a well prepared platform from which the flake has been removed. The dorsal face has a number of irregular and regular flake scars - as well as a single large area o…

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…

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.
