Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (2900 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly oval in both plan and profile. It has number of regular facets caused by flaking on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. The lower (ventral) face has very little evidence of flaking. 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 (or final) phase of tool production. The waste flake has been reworked to form a side-scraper of later Neolithic date. This has been achieve…

Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (2900 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly D shaped in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. It has an unusual smooth surface on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake; this is possibly due to the flake being worked from an irregular piece of waste. The lower (ventral) face has very little evidence of flaking. 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 (or final) phase of tool production. The waste flake has b…

Two tertiary waste flakes / debitage of flint dating to the later Mesolithic – later Neolithic periods (4500 – 2200 BC). Both the flakes are relatively large having irregular uncontrolled broken edges. However, much of the dorsal and ventral surface of both artefacts has regular evenly spaced knapped facets. There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present. These flakes are clear evidence of flint knapping at this site. Both the pieces of flint are patinated. They have combined weight of 11.23 grams 1. Measures 30.6mm length, 27.7mm width is 9.4mm thick and weighs…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Snapped knapped flint blade of probable later Mesolithic or earlier Neolithic date (6500 – 3500 BC). The flint is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The ventral (reverse) face has a distinct bulb of percussion and conchoidal fractures which have been broken across loosing the striking platform and heel of the flake. The dorsal face show several flake scars. There is abrupt retouch to the long edges on the dorsal face, although this may be a result of plough-roll / abrasion as it does not seem regular. The flint is a grey colour with a series of flaws and di…

Four pieces of struck flint. It is difficult to suggest that these are waste from tool production due to the lack of regular worked edges present. However, they are from the same site which has produced flint of Mesolithic and Neolithic date and may represent debitage. Bulk Weight: 30.94 grams

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint microlith, formed from the tip of a snapped blade or flake, of probable later Mesolithic or Neolithic date (6500-3500 BC). The microlith is formed from the tip or point of a blade which has been snapped. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. Both the longer edges are heavily reworked with regular evenly spaced flakes forming a serrated point. It is likely that this microlith would have been set with several others into a tool, such as a harpoon, or multiple toothed blade. The flint is a creamy white colour. It measures 11.9mm in length, 13.2mm width, …

A lithic artefact with the characteristics of a double sided scraper or knife, probably of Neolithic - Early Bronze Age origin. The ventral surface is concave and has an indistinct bulb of percussion at the pointed (proximal) end with the consequential and characteristic ripple pattern running away to the distal end. The artefact has been shaped using a uni-facial invasive retouch that covers the most of the dorsal surface, the untouched area of this surface retaining cortex. One edge of the scraper is convex and the other straight. Both edges have evidence of normal re-touch, wit…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a worked piece of flint, probably Neolithic in date. It seems probable that the bulb of percussion has been worked away by steeply re-touched bulbar scarring that has produced a marked point, perhaps intended as an awl? This work may have been a secondary use of the piece. The cross sectional shape is that of a lozenge and it is bi-facially worked with many conchoidal fractures to both of the long sides. It is also probable that the artefact originally terminated in a sharp point, now broken. As to use, it is possible that it is an awl or piercer that has broken and then …

A small fragment of flint that has evidence of having been worked by man, probably during the Neolithic. It may be a fragment of a larger implement. The ventral side has clear ripples running away from the now broken edge. On close inspection, the 'point' (partly missing) has good parallel bifacial re-touch. The dorsal surface is marked by lighter and slightly coarser inclusions to one side running the length of the artefact. The material is a light brown flint.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a piece of flint debitage that has some of the characteristics of having been struck by man, perhaps Neolithic in origin. That it has been struck by man is supported by a probable bulb of percussion to one side with dorsal scarring where previous material has been struck off the core. Additionally, there is the characteristic rippling, indicative of its removal from a core, by force. The material is of a dark brown colour.

This is a particularly fine Neolithic-Early Bronze Age scraper or knife. The proximal end has a clear platform and a bulb of percussion that ends abruptly, in a step fracture, co-incident with a banded inclusion. The ventral surface is then marked by the typical ripple effect running away from the scar. The implement is further refined in having both a convex and a straight/slightly concave working edge. The convex edge is marked by parallel and sub-parallel retouch and has a cutting edge of 60mm. The concave/straight side is 26mm in length and has alternating parallel retouch gi…

This is possibly a Neolithic flint core. One side is 'ventral like' being flat and smooth but with no evidence of ripple, the other is 'dorsal' in form with some ripple and dorsal scarring. One side of the dorsal ridge is smooth, whilst the other has multiple fractures with no distinctive sign of retouch removal or the typical conchoidal scarring so often found with worked pieces. The 'dorsal' side also has cortex in situ to both ends and what might be seen as the proximal end, has a platform. There are two distinct miss-strike scars to the larger of the cortex faces. Directly b…

This is a lithic blade and most probably Neolithic in origin. As the length of this artefact is more than twice the width, with the sides more or less parallel, it may logically be called a blade. Typical of lithic blades, the cross section is triangulate. In side profile the blade has a slightly crescentic form. There is a clear bulb of percussion, at the proximal end of the ventral surface with associated but minimal ripples down the ventral face. The dorsal surface has a pronounced dorsal ridge and scars with a concoidal fracture that has removed a portion of the ridge, at th…

This is a small worked flake forming a double side scraper, probably of Neolithic origin. The ventral surface is marked by a distinct bulb of percussion and the resultant 'ripple' effect running to the distal end. There is a fragment of cortex remaining on the proximal end. The dorsal surface has pronounced divergent dorsal scar with an area of percussion ripple from previous removal. This implement has two distinct retouched sides, one being convex and the other, straight. Both edges have 'normal' retouch at an angle to the ventral surface of about 60 deg. Close examination …

Small irregular piece of flint debitage, probably dating to the Earlier Neolithic period. (3500-2700 BC). The piece of flint is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and profile. There are no areas of cortex present – this suggests that the waste comes from the tertiary (or final phase) of tool making. This is substantiated by the large amount of flaking on dorsal face, when compared to the ventral. The ventral face has a distinct bulb of percussion. The dorsal face has at least eight scars on it, from at least three different directions. This would suggest that this flake was produced tow…

Flint scatter reported anonymously to CPAT. The majority came from this location with single flakes also being recovered from SO19642491 and SO19742491. The assemblage includes a barbed and tanged arrowhead measuring 22mm x 20mm found on 17 August 2002, the rest (some 18 pieces) were found during 2003, all the flints have a brown patina and at least 2 have cortex remaining. From the finder's/reporter's photograph the assemblage appears to contain at least one thumbnail scraper, possibly a second and possible pointed borers and/or utilised flakes

Segment of a snapped flint blade of probable late Mesolithic date (6500BC - 3500BC). The flint tool is sub-rectangular in plan and profile and consists of the upper part of a blade. It measures ??? length, ??? width, and is ??? thick. The blade weighs ???. The bulb of percussion is clear on the reverse of the flake; the opposite end has been snapped. The two long vertical sides of the blade have both been reworked / retouched. This is most evident on the middle and upper edges. The left hand edge seems to have been reworked more comprehensively than the right; there is a higher density…
