A Prehistoric flint flake, probably Neolithic to early Bronze Age . The flake is a tertiary flake with no cortex remaining. The flake is incomplete due to modern damage, the distal end is missing but the bulb and striking platform are present. There is no retouch present. Circa 3500-1500 BC. The flint is light-dark grey with an opaque patina. Dimensions: length 21.92mm; width 16.13mm; thickness 7.45mm; weight 2.48g

A broken blade fragment made on a teriary flake. The platform and bulb is retained. The flint has a blue-grey core covered with a thick white patina from the chalk. The object has partial retouch on the dorsal edges and is broken at the distal end. It is crude in its manufacture and finishing, suggesting a Bronze Age date, like the rest of the assemblage from this area. The lithic measures 41.49mm long, 16.98mm wide and is 4.92mm thick. It weighs 5.7gms.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint blade dating from the early Neolithic period (c.4000-3000 BC). The blade is made on a secondary flake of a dark grey, semi-translucent flint. The distal end retains approximately 20% brown-white cortex. The blade is retouched around all dorsal edges apart from at the distal end; thinning of the bulb is evident at the proximal end on the ventral side. The blade widens from 7.41mm at the proximal end to 23.34mm at the distal end and has a roughly trapezoidal cross section.

Two broken flint blades dating to the Mesolithic period (10,000-4001 BC). The blades are both made from a bluish-grey flint, with white patina. One example retains approximately 20% cortex. Neither specimin is retouched and both are broken at the proximal end.

A truncated blade fragment dating to the Mesolithic period (10,000-4001 BC). The blade fragment is made from a mottled blue-grey flint and does not retain either the platform or bulb of percussion. There is weather damage at the proximal end on the dorsal surface. A small area of soft-hammer retouch can be seen on the right dorsal lateral, although this may be later reuse.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Distal end of a tertiary blade, semi-soft hammer struck from a single platform core, of unpatinated semi-translucent grey flint, the proximal end is broken by a transverse bending fracture, it is unclear if this is intentional or damage from heavy farm machinery. Both lateral edges are sharp and lack any obvious use-wear, the distal end terminates in a hinge. Likely to be later prehistoric rather than Mesolithic. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 700 BC.

A fragment of a broken blade of uncertain prehistoric date (Late (Upper) Palaeolithic to Neolithic, c. 40,000-2,500 BC). The blade is made on a mottled dark orange-brown flint. It is broadly triangular in profile although it is more flat at the proximal end. There are three broad removals on the dorsal surface, with some modern damage / edging. The blade is broken towards the distal end.

A complete flint bladelet with a rubbed end dating to the Late Upper Palaeolithic or early Mesolithic period, c. 40,000 - 7,000 BC. The bladelet has been made from a tertiary flake of a mottled dark brown flint. Part of the platform has been retained and this also appears to have been rubbed, as has the distal end. There are thin flake scars over the dorsal surface. There is possible ancient reutilisation damage on the left hand edge.

A flint bladelet made of a tertiary flake of mottled orange-brown flint, dating to the Mesolithic period (c. 10,000-4,000 BC). The baldelet is broadly planoconvex with a narrowed distal end. The bulb is retained however the platform at the proximal end is damaged. Numerous thin flake scars (microlith production) are visible over the dorsal surface. There is edge damage to the left hand dorsal side. There is some modern damage to the ventral surface.

A flint piercer made on a bladelet dating to the Late Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic period (c. 20,000-4,000 BC). The piercer has been made on a tertiary flake of a mottled orange-brown flint. The bulb is retained as is the small fragment of the platform. There are two flake scars on the dorsal surface. The lower half of the left hand edge of the dorsal side has been worked with soft hammer precussion, becoming more invasive towards the tip of the piercer, which has detatched, possibly during production but potentially after deposition.

An incomplete flint blade or bladelet of prehistoric date. The blade has crude retouch down part of one later edge on the dorsal side. Although it is hard to assign this object to a specific period it is more likely to date to the Neolithic period (4000-2100 BC).
