Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake core of probable Late Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The core is sub-cuboidal, with several broad, parallel-sided flake removal scars on its main working face. In addition, two flakes have been struck off on another plane. Part of the surface of the core is heavily pitted, which suggests the piece may have been used as a hammer stone. The white surfaces are the result of deposition within alkaline soil. Length: 43.7mm; width: 40.1mm. Weight: 75.48g.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c. 4000 - 801 BC). The tool has been made from a tertiary flake which is of elongated-suboval shape and 'D-shaped' cross section. Retouch, confined to the rounded distal end, is long, sub-parallel and abrupt. Part of the striking platform remains, adjacent to which, on the ventral surface, there is a bulbar scar. The white surface of the exposed flint indicates deposition within an alkaline soil. Length: 51.4mm; width: 29.5mm; thickness: 7.1mm. Weight: 12.49g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper of probable Neolithic date (c. 4000 - c. 2351 BC). The tool is subcircular in plan, of 'D-shaped' section and has been struck on a secondary flake. The clearest retouch is at the distal end, where it is long, sub-parallel and abrupt; the mesial sides appear to have been roughly shaped, with the occasional abrupt retouch visible. Evidence of platform preparation is visible on the dorsal surface, adjacent to the striking platform. The ventral surface has a low bulb with bulbar scar but no ripples. The white surface is the result of deposition within alkaline…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper, probably dating from the Bronze Age (c. 2350 - 801 BC). The tool is on a tertiary flake, is truncated-oval in plan and of broadly trapezoidal cross section. A flat area at the proximal end probably represents part of the striking platform. A concave area below this, on the ventral surface, may be a large bulbar scar. Retouch at the rounded distal end is short and abrupt. The exposed surface of the flint is white due to deposition in alkaline soil. Length: 32.7mm; width: 30.9mm; thickness: 9.1mm. Weight: 9.07g.

County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake, probably dating from the Mid Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (c. 1600 BC - c. 401 BC). This irregular, secondary flake shows evidence of crossed abrupt retouch at one end. The white surface of the exposed flint is the result of deposition within alkaline soil. Length: 35.4mm; width: 29.9mm; thickness: 11.5mm. Weight: 10.11g.

County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper, probably dating from Bronze Age (c. 2350 - 801 BC). The tool is on a tertiary flake, 'pear-shaped' and of trapezoidal cross section. Retouch, confined to the rounded distal end, is long, sub-parallel and abrupt. On the ventral surface, the bulb of percussion is low and the ripples are diffuse. The white surface of the exposed flint is indicative of deposition in alkaline soil; there is also some iron staining. Length: 49.7mm; width: 35.4mm; thickness: 12.2mm. Weight: 20.83g.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper of probable Mid Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date (c. 1600 - 401 BC). The tool has been made from a secondary flake, is sub-rectangular in plan and of broadly trapezoidal cross section. Retouch is confined to the rounded distal end and is long, sub-parallel and abrupt. The angled proximal end represents a deliberate truncation and removal of the striking point. The white surface of the exposed flint indicates deposition within an alkaline soil. Length: 39.2mm; width: 28.3mm; thickness: 8.8mm. Weight: 11.4g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A struck flint flake of uncertain date. This secondary, pear-shaped flake has a pronounced bulb of percussion and several longitudinal arrises on the dorsal surface. The left-hand mesial edge has the appearance of having been ground; however, this may simply reflect the nature of the material at this point.
