Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is irregular in both plan and profile. It has number of regular facets (caused by flaking) on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. There is a patch of cortex (the rough outer skin of the flint nodule) present on the dorsal edge. This suggests that this flake comes from the secondary phase of tool production. The cortex is white and is similar to that of flint nodules from chalk areas. The underside (ventral face) of the flake shows a small neat bulb of percussion, which is position…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Relatively large flint scraper (side and end) of probable later Neolithic date (2900 - 2100 BC). The scraper is formed from a large chunky flint secondary waste flake, which was probably a bi-product of other tool production. It is broadly oval in plan and cross section. The scraper measures 28.8mm length, 26.9mm width, is 9.6mm thick and weighs 6.94 grams. The scraper has significant retouch applied to the upper (dorsal) face. This secondary working is primarily limited to the cutting edges positioned along one side and the base. Here a series of regular overlapping neat smal…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake with no evidence of ‘re-touch’ along any edge. There is a clear bulb of percussion with corresponding ripples down the length of the piece on the ventral side. The dorsal surface is covered by negative scars, hackles and ridges. While not officially a blade as its length is not quite twice its width, it could have been used as a blade. It is a mottled grey colour.

Irregular flake of debitage, from the secondary phase of tool making: it most likely dates from the later Neolithic period (2900-2100 BC). The upper dorsal face exhibits lateral flake scars from the removal or narrow flakes. The dorsal face also has a large amount of white cortex, similar to that seen on nodule of flint procured from chalk. The reverse (ventral) face has a single bulb of percussion and associated conchoidal ripples. The direction of this is at 90 degree to that on the ventral face. It is possible that part of one edge has been reworked with short blunt secondary flakin…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but slightly damaged knapped, ground and polished flint axehead of probable later Neolithic date (2900-2100 BC). The axe is knapped from a mid orange coloured flint with considerable mid - pale yellow and milky white inclusions. This axe is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and sub-oval (humped) in cross section. In plan the sides of the axe taper from the widest point at the cutting edge to a relatively narrow rounded butt. One long edge tapers more than the other edge. The axe measures 179.5mm length, 72.1mm width (at cutting edge), and is 40.9mm thick. It weighs 587 grams.…

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint microlith which has been further knapped to form a microburin. The artefact is sub-rectangular in plan, which tapers slightly. The terminals are broken edges, therefore the proxmal and distal ends are missing. Along one lateral edge retouch has occurred from the dorsal surface forming a small indentation along the edge. The microlith is sub-trapezoidal in section with the scars occuring on the dorsal surface. The flint has developed a mottled cream patina. The tool measures 23.83mm long, 7.64mm wide, 2.35mm thick and weighs 0.4grams. The microburin dates to the …

A probable Mesolithic flint microlith. The flint is an elongated trapezoidal in plan and is triangular in section. The distal and proximal ends are missing, and this appears to be due to recent damage. The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion and ripples.

A possible Mesolithic flint microlith. The flint is a sub-rectangular in plan and is triangular in section. The distal and proximal ends appear to be missing, and these are not recent breaks. One terminal appears to have some re-touch which is narrowing the terminal on one face. The opposite terminal has an area of natural scaring. The flint has a well developed blue/white patina. It measures 14.8mm long, 3.06mm wide, 3.19mm thick and weighs less than 0.1grams.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint blade from the outer area of the core. The flint is probably a river sourced pebble. The blade shows both hinge fractures on the front (dorsal) face and choncoidal fractures and bulb of percussion on the reverse (ventral). The striking platform is also present. The retouch on the long edges is from indirect percussion and is neat and regular. The cortex suggests that several blades have been removed from the core prior to the removal of this flake

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic or Neolithic flint secondary flake or blade. The flake is triangular in section and in profile, with the dorsal surface having three negative scars forming a central peak. The proximal end is obliquely angled and has some re-touch, the distal end has possible re-touch. The flake measures 20.86mm long, 8.33mm wide, 3.5mm thick and weighs 0.5grams. As the length is shorter than the width of the object, the identification of it being a blade is uncertain, therefore described as a flake. The nature of the three scars on the dorsal surface may suggest a rejuvenation flake …
