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

Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Powys

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.

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…

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.

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 …

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. The …

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…
