Record ID: IOW-450565
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A complete flint discoidal knife of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (3500 BC - 1500 BC. Length 109.0mm, width 86.0mm and 17.0mm thick. Weight 188.12g. The implement, a large discoidal knife, is sub-oval in plan and lentoid in transverse cross-section. It is made of flint which is grey patinated and the flaking covers the whole of each face. The edges of each shorter side have been finely polished. The implement is undamaged and was found on the surface. It is in a remarkably good condition. A similar implement, although slightly smaller and having a length of about 92.0mm,…

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published Find published
This object is a Mode 2: Acheulian handaxe of the Lower Palaeolithic. Mode 2 tools being worked symmetrically on both sides indicating greater care in the production of the final tool. The axe is a pointed oval shape and bifacially worked. It is made from a grey cream mottled flint, now patinated with orange/ochre. All the edges are clearly worked and there appears to be a small section of cortex (or an inclusion) on the centre of one face. The smooth polished surface of the axe is the result of having been abraded over the millennia. It has the classic gravel staining of having been …

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A complete leaf-shaped flint arrowhead of probable Neolithic date (4000BC-2200BC). It is a brown-grey colour, retouched on both surfaces although an area of dirty white cortex survives over about half of one surface and a very small area is present towards the edge of the other. Largely opaque, but with some translucency at the edges where the flint is thinner. 25 x 18.3 x 4mm. Weight: ??g - Weight to follow from finder.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A complete leaf shaped arrowhead dating to the early Neolithic period, (circa 3500-2500 BC). The arrowhead is lozenge (pointed oval) in shape and lentoid in cross section. The dorsal and ventral faces of the arrowhead have been extensively and delicately worked with neat well-formed pressure / ripple flakes. There are no visible signs of use. The flint is a poor quality mottled pale grey colour with fine orange veins passing through it. The selection of the flint with this distinctive vein could represent a deliberate aesthetic choice. This example fits well with leaf shaped arrowhead…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published Find published
An incomplete Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. This arrowhead has been knapped from a uniform grey coloured piece of flint. The arrowhead is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. It has been knapped using a number of different techniques, including direct and indirect percussion, as well as pressure / ripple / invasive flaking. It is unsymmetrical in shape with one barb being lost. The break is old and patinated suggesting damaged in antiquity. Both the long sides of the arrowhead have been retouched to create sharp edges - this retouch is bes…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly sub-triangular in both plan and profile. It has number of regular facets (caused by flaking) on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. There is no evidence of cortex (the rough outer skin of the flint nodule) present on either face. This suggests that this flake comes from the tertiary phase of tool production. On one edge is a smooth rounded bevel. This has been created by wear, rather than flaking, and suggests that this piece of debitage is in fact from the re-working o…

County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
This is most probably the remains of a thumbnail scraper from the Neolithic period. There is some remaining evidence of a platform at the proximal end. The dorsal surface carries several ridges and negative scars. The ventral surface shows limited evidence of a diffuse bulbar scar. One edge appears to have been re-touched but due to the poor quality of the flint this is not definite. The material is dark brown with small light grey inclusions throughout. There is one very small piece of surviving cortex.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Relatively small flint thumbnail scraper (side and end) of probable later Neolithic or very early Bronze Age date (2900 - 1800 BC). The scraper is formed from the end of a blade like tertiary flake. It is broadly rectangular in plan and an irregular oval in cross section. It measures 17.2mm length, 17.1mm width, is 7.6mm thick and weighs 2.81 grams. The scraper has significant retouch applied to the upper (dorsal) face. This secondary working is limited to the sides / edges and the base. The top is unworked consisting of a snapped edge. The reworking of the edges is neat consisting…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Large flake of tertiary debitage which has been burnt in a fire. The flaking suggest a Neolithic date (c. 3500-2100 BC). The flake is irregular in plan and broadly sub-rectangular in cross section, evidence for flaking is present and it is possible that one small area of the dorsal face has been reworked as small relatively neat facets are present. If this were used as a tool it is likely it was produced ad hoc and discarded once a short lived task had been formed. The reworking has been applied to a crescent and it is possible that the flake was used for scraping, possibly something l…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Small snapped blade of probable later Mesolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The blade is irregular and possibly is a core rejuvenation flake. The blade consists a clear faceted striking platform on one edge, below which a series of flake scars are present on the dorsal face. The upper scar on the dorsal face is irregular, possibly due to a flaw in the flint. The lower two scar facets represent the removal of blades in an opposite direction (probably with the core being worked in a direction of 180 degree to the striking platform present on this flake. The reverse (ventral) face has several a…

Two fragments of tertiary waste flakes / debitage. Both flakes show evidence of knapping in several directions; neither is a tool or exhibit retouch to any face. The presence of these two flakes suggests tool making on this site – or close by during the Neolithic period 3500-2100 BC. The two flakes have a bulk weight of 1.31 grams

County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A small flint blade, possibly a fragment of a larger blade. It is perhaps Neolithic in origin, coming as it does, from the Walton Basin in Wales. The bulb of percussion has been removed and there are signs of re-work to the adjacent edges. The dorsal surface has a single ridge/lateral edge which divides into 2 as it extends to the upper edge in the photograph. The ventral surface has percussion ripples along with edge fissures at one end. The material is a pale cream flint with several minute inclusions with a larger pale inclusion that terminates with a dark edge on the dorsal ridg…

This is an amorphous irregular flint core, probably of Neolithic origin from the Walton Basin in Wales. One side is cortex with the other exhibiting various striking platforms and removal scars to the face. The material appears to be chert with a dark grey core and a light grey surface that may have resulted from exposure to fire.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A lithic flake/implement of probable Neolithic origin. This artefact has the look of a blade, with the remnants of a diffuse bulb of percussion and the conventional dorsal/ventral surfaces. The dorsal surface has a number of negative scars from earlier removal with fissures and abundant concoidal scarring to both long edges. The long edges are, however, quite steep and there is also retouch on the ventral surface at the distal end. The material is a dark brown/grey flint with numerous inclusions of both darker and lighter material.
