The large core weighs 14.8gms and measures 20.92mm long and is 20.05mm at its widest. The core tapers from the platfrom at the top, almost down to a point at the distal end. The core fragment piece displays a number of microlith removal…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Four fragments of flint debitage. The group consists of three smaller pieces of mid-grey flint and one large flake. The flake is secondary with a large area of cortex remaining on the dorsal face and a pronounced buld of percussion on the ventral face. The flake is possibly burnt, but could just be heavily patinated. It bears no sign of secondary retouch and is a core trimming flake. The three smaller pieces are waste/debitage flakes, one severely broken with some possible edge use, the other two smaller flakes are whole flakes, one patinated, one fresh. These pieces are either co…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two pieces of flint. Both show signs of working and percussion scars, but neither are complete tools. They are therefore likely to be debitage of probably Neolithic date. 1) an opague light brown colored flint. Some reddish-brown coloured cortex remaining on the concave surface of the wider, flatter, end. The underside f this area has several deliberately longitudinal scars. This wide ares becomes narrower and more triangular in section. One facet of this area has a bulb of percussion and associated ripples. There is no flaking or retouching to the edges. 67mm x 35mm x 24mm. 28.43g.…
