Record ID: HESH-9110A7
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Large irregular much weather nodule of flint, probably used as a raw (although poor quality) flint source for making artefacts in the prehistoric period. The outer edge is covered with cortex (at least 60%) which seems to be derived from chalk. The flake scars present are uncontrolled and this would suggest that this piece comes from one end of a nodule which has been discarded due to its poor state. The noule measures 83.9mm length, 63.3mm width is 4.1mm thick and weighs 184.64 grams.

A long thin lithic implement, probably a proto awl of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (4000 - 3000 BC). It does demonstrate some uncontrolled fractures, probably due to movement in the soil. The flint is a light grey with patches of white running through. It may have suffered some patination due to soil conditions. It is roughly triangular in shape, narrowing to a point. Little evidence of retouch is present along the edges of the tool. It measures 46.33mm length, 18.11mm width, 9.71mm thick and weighs 6.0 grams.
