Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small blade of tertiary debitage (from the third / final phase of tool making) of Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The blade is struck from small flint core; it is rectangular in plan; being triangular in section, and has not been reworked / retouched. The dorsal faces of some of the flakes show ridges and flake scars from previous removals whilst the reverse / ventral face shows conchoidal ripples

Record ID: HESH-9ED253
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete snapped flint blade of probable later Mesolithic or early Neolithic date (6000BC - 3500BC). The flint tool, probably best described as a knife, is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross section. The blade has been snapped and only the upper part survives; this break is intentional and from the period of use. The bulb of percussion is lost on the lower (ventral) face as is the prepared knapping platform on the upper (proximal) edge. The upper (dorsal) face of the blade has a number of clear facets and ridges. The long edges are both retouched on both the…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic to Bronze age date (9000-1000BC) tertiary flake, most likely to be towards the later end of this date range (Ron Cowell pers comm). The dorsal surface is slightly convex. The ventral surface has a clear bulb of percussion and a small striking platform. Ripple marks (concordial fracture) is clearly visible on the ventral surface. The distal end shows signs of use around the edge but no obvious retouch (Ron Cowell pers comm).

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a small assemblage of three secondary/tertiary pieces of probable Neolithic flint debitage. The total weight of this collection is 18.6g and the largest piece measures 48x29.4x14mm. The material is a hard, dark to light brown flint with lighter, small inclusions. The larger piece has some remaining cortex. All three pieces have conchoidal scars and a number of facets but with no sign of further working.
The area of finds is within the well known Neolithic landscape of the Walton Basin and this assemblage is one of five recent assorted debitage and tool finds from this area.

County: Powys

This is a small assemblage of five pieces of secondary and tertiary flint debitage, probably of Neolithic origin, from the Walton Basin. This find consists of five pieces of debris - three of flint and two of what would appear to be chert. One piece, Cc, has considerable surface crazing indicative of exposure to fire.The total weight of this assemblage is 12.1g and the largest piece (Ca) in chert, measures 31x14.3x11.7 and has a bi-colour cream/grey surface with numerous small dark brown inclusions.

This is a large assemblage of twenty pieces of secondary/tertiary Neolithic flint debitage from the Walton Basin. This collection has a total weight of 34g and consists of mainly flint debris, chips and a few flakes, with a mix of chert. The colours vary from a pale cream to a dark brown and most have small inclusions and or, colour banding within the material. One small piece (Na) has remnants of the cortex in situ.

This is a collection of eight pieces of secondary/tertiary Neolithic flint debitage from the Walton Basin. The total weight of the collection is 14.5g with the largest piece (Ea) measuring 44.1x21.5x5.9mm. That piece has the look of a blade and there is some evidence, albeit weak, of a bulb of percussion and ‘in ground’ damage or just possibly, reworking of to one edge. This assemblage consists of flint and chert with colours varying from dark brown to a shade of orange each with small inclusions or colour banding.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a small secondary flake, possibly a flint scraper of Neolithic origin. The piece has a diffuse bulb of percussion to the ventral side and some very fine parallel direct re-touch to the rounded edge beneath the cortex. The dorsal side has remaining cortex with negative scars running off the single dorsal ridge. There are a number of conchoidal scars with re-working to the convex edge that cause the piece to resemble a denticulate side scraper.
The piece has a mottled dark to light brown colour and a number of pale cream inclusions.

This is a tertiary flint flake that has signs of bifacial reduction. It was found in an area known for its Neolithic past and lack of natural flint, thus we may reasonably consider it to be of Neolithic origin.
There is no clear evidence of a bulb of percussion, there are percussion ripples that radiate concentrically from one end but then there are step scars terminating abruptly in hinge fractures leaving typical scalar negative scarring at the other end. The result is a complex topography, perhaps indicative of this being a ‘work in progress’. There are also small areas of …

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a lithic blade of Neolithic origin. There is a diffuse bulb of percussion at the proximal end with limited undulating ripple. The dorsal surface has a prominent ridge that bisects into two ridges, approximately halfway down the length of the blade and running to the distal edge
The edges have original sub-parallel retouch but then have what might be considered as ‘new’ retouch at some later date that cuts through the pale cream surface of the original work. However, it is entirely possible that the ‘new’ retouch is simply damage from its long life in the soil.

Flint debitage flake from the secondary phase of knapping probably dating from the later Neolithic 2900-2100 BC. The flake has a small area of cortex (outer rind) on one edge, and has probably been removed during the second phase of knapping or roughing out. It is broadly oval in plan and lentoid in cross section. It has been removed as a piece of waste in one clear blow, this has left a clear point of percussion and conchoidal fractures on the ventral (lower) face. The waste flake has been reworked around the outer curved edge where a series of small regular flakes being removed to c…

Prehistoric polished flint axe probably of Later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date
The axe is of unusual slender and rectangular-sectioned form and is near-complete with just some damage to the blade edge (with a length of 150mm and a weight of 190.6g). The butt is rectangular (22.8mm wide and 13.1mm thick), below which the sides are straight and near-parallel, slightly divergent (for 35mm, where the axe has a width and thickness of 24.8mm and 19.5mm respectively). The sides are then more divergent but moderately straight to the blade edge. The blade edge (with a width of 52.6mm…
