Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete late Neolithic oblique flint (ripple-flaked oblique) arrowhead. This arrowhead has been knapped from a fine good quality matt grey piece of flint. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section; the tip, side barb and tang have all been lost; the breaks are recent and unabraded. The arrowhead has been knapped using a number of different techniques, including direct and indirect percussion, as well as being retouched using pressure / ripple / invasive flaking best caracterised as covering, parallel low angled retouch. This flaking is of the highest qual…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper formed on a piece of secondary debitage / waste flake (from the second phase of tool making). The tool dates from the later Neolithic or possibly the Early Bronze Age periods (2900-2100 BC) and is formed from a squat oval flake of relatively high quality flint. In profile and in cross section it is D shaped. The ventral face shows conchoidal ripples a point and bulb of percussion . The base / distal end has a well prepared platform from which the flake has been removed. The dorsal face has a number of irregular and regular flake scars - as well as a single large area o…

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Large flint core / primary flaked nodule of probable Neolithic date, The core is formed on a poor quality nodule of flint which has a large amount of cortex and dark grey coloured inclusions. The surface also has significant areas of multiple holes/depressions. The core has 2 primary bulbs of percussion and may have been discarded as being of too low grade for further working. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The discovery of such large pieces of unworked / unprocessed flint is highly …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Five pieces of small flint debitage of probably Neolithic date. All the flakes show primary and secondary working. Four flakes are burnt and the largest piece appears to be polished which may indicate a discarded flake from a larger reworked tool, such as an axe or knife. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The pieces measure 1. 11.7mm length, 11mm width, is 2.32mm thick and weighs 0.23 grams. 2. 17mm length, 12mm width, is 6.75mm thick and weighs 1.43 grams. 3. 19.43mm length,…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small piece of tertiary flint debitage of either later Mesolithic or Neolithic date (6500-1800BC). The flake is very pale grey and has not been retouched to form a separate tool. It is possible that the flake is a small bladelet taken from a Mesolithic core - as all the working is in the same direction; although the piece is too small to be diagnostic. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The flake measures 13.61mm length, 9.81mm width, is 2.04mm thick and weighs 0.26 grams.

Two small flint Blades, The smaller flake is pale brown and shows primary working and small amount of indentines to the tip. The larger blade is pale grey and shows both primary and secondary retouching and may have been longer as there is a break width ways across the wider end. A Neolithic date 2900 - 1800 BC may be suggested as similar dated debitage and tools have been found in the immidiate vicinity. The small blade measures 12 x 9.76 x 1.75mm and weighs 0.22 gm. The large blade measures 24.48 x 12.1 x 3mm and weighs 0.75 gm

Seven flakes of tertiary debitage (from the third / final phase of tool making) of Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). The flakes are all struck on poor quality flint which varies in coarseness and colour, all being glacial or riverine derived, some possibly being chert rather than flint. None of the waste flakes have been reworked / retouched to form other artefacts such as scrapers. The dorsal faces of some of the flakes show ridges and flake scars, the reverse faces show conchoidal ripples. The flakes have a bulk weight of 34.67 grams

County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A pyramidal shaped core dating to the Mesolithic period (6500 - 3500 BC). The core is triangular in profile and irregular in plan. A distinct knapping platform is present on the upper edge of the core with areas of multiple blade removals in a single direction around the edge. The small size of this core suggests that it was discarded as waste. There are areas of hinge fracturing near the base. The flint is a light grey colour. The core measures 25.4mm in length, 22.2mm width, is 20.6mm thick and weighs 14.63 grams.
