Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
large secondary flint flake with numerous blade removal scars on one side and a single bulb of percussion on the other. There is a large amount of crushing damage to some of the edges of this flake suggesting it may be a core renewal flake, struck from a core to create a new striking platform. The flake is large and the bulb of percussio is substantial suggesting a hard hammer and a late Neolithic- Bronze age date. The flint is dark brown to black in colour with some grey-white cortex surviving in places.

Possibly a discoidal or keeled core with 2 striking platforms. flint is almost spherical in shape and has had flakes removed from all over it. There is some cortex remaining on one edge. Many flakes terminate in hinge fractures suggesting that the core was not productive and was discarded. Flint is brown in colour with some grey spehrical silicate inclusions.

A piece of Prehistoric worked flint of uncertain date. The fragment is sub-oval and formed of a mottled mid-dark grey flint. The ventral side has several ridges, running at different angles across the core. The dorsal side has a series of undulations, radiating from both sides of the object. One edge of the dorsal sides appears quite battered, with light grey concreted material in patches. There appears to be a striking platform at one end, as the object tapers slightly to the opposite end. Dimensions: length: 65.78 mm; width: 48.06 mm; thickness: 19.41 mm; weight: 79.61g.

Two post medieval gunflints from a flint lock rifle (1 of which is incomplete), dating 1600-1850. The complete flint has been worked to form a trapezoidal shape in plan with 3 faces where blades have been removed on the top. One side is rounded tapering to a narrower side. mid-grey flint. The incomplete flint has two straight sides, following the trapezoidal pattern, but the other two sides have been rounded to form a single edge. It is apparent that an attempt has been made to work this flint but one corner has broken off and the item has been abandoned. dark-grey flint. Similar …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic-Neolithic flint tool, dating 8,300 - 2,100BC. The striking platform is clearly visible. There is a bulb of percussion on the ventral side, with ripples permeating outward causing the irregular (wavy) shape of the blade. There are two ridges on the dorsal side, one central and the other to the left, suggesting a minimum of 3 blades were removed from this tool. There is evidence of cortex towards the tip on the right dorsal side, the cortex being a very pale grey colour. There is no evidence of retouch but there appear to be marks across the object that may have been cause…

A Neolithic - Bronze Age flint scraper dating 4000 - 801 BC. The flint is roughly triangular in shape. None of the cortex remains, making it difficult to determine how this flake relates to the original core. There is significant retouch on both edges on the dorsal side. The dorsal ridge has been broken towards the striking platform and there is some damage to the bulb of percussion, all of which is likely occurred post-deposition. The flint is of a mid-dark grey. Dimensions: length: 44.83 mm; width: 32.49 mm; thickness: 11.94 mm; weight: 12.24g.

An incomplete Mesolithic flint blade, dating 10,000 - 4,300BC. The striking platform is no longer present but the bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral side, with undulations radiating away. There are three ridges on the dorsal side which indicate at least three blades being removed, as one edge is slightly rounder than the rest and probably did not have a blade removed. There is evidence of retouch on the right edge of the ventral side. The object is made from a mid-dark grey flint. There is concretion along the rounded edge and the proximal end appears to have suffered later …
