A scatter of flints found in 1998. According to the finder they were found on the seaward side of a field wall near Ogof Llwyd, at Penrhyn, east of Aberdaron. They comprise 10 small flakes and blades, some of which may have been formed by natural processes. The majority are broken and may be waste flakes left as the result of knapping. Due to the occurrences of cortex in relation to flake size, it is likely that the flakes are the result of working pebbles.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two pieces of flint found together. The first is likely to be imported flint and represents a flake from tool production. It is broken and the break is heavily patenated suggesting the break is ancient. It is possible that the flake represents a distal scraper snapped off in use. Later neolithic. The second piece is an irregular pebble, no sign of deliberate working, probably glacial deposition. Natural.

Large flint flake probably imported material. Although an evocative shape, it is not a tool, the facets are deemed to be the result of natural fracturing; ie not worked.

Two flint flakes: 1) teardrop shaped mottled grey and white flint flake, one side is cortex. There is rough retouch around much of the circumference of the flake suggesting use as a scraper. 48.6mm x 40.42mm x 11.63mm, weight: 21.4gm 2) fan shaped white flint flake with a platform at the narrow end. No sign of reworking. 50.70mm x 34.68mm x 14.10mm, weight: 19.0gm

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Surrey

Flaked and ground flint axe. Triangular in plan, oval in section. Some damage to butt end, though the blade is virtually intact and finely polished. Possible hafting marks are visible, also grinding marks. Probably of local stone as not top quality flint.

Record ID: GAT-9211A0
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Orange-brown-coloured flint blade, with a minimum of three earlier blade removals visible on the dorsal face. The bulb of percussion is clearly visible on the ventral face, as are ripples running conversely across the length of this face. It has been truncated at the point of percussion: this is known to have taken place since it was found, roughly 20 years ago. Similarly, there may be some retouch along the edges of the blade, although this may have also been caused by damage since its discovery.

Record ID: GAT-A73EB6
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Retouched flint blade removed from a prepared core, of whitish-grey flint. The blade, manufactured from a secondary flake, has largely unifacial direct semi-abrupt retouch along both lengths, and a point has been created at the promixal end to the extent that the bulb of percussion is barely discernable. The dorsal face of the blade has a minimum of five negative scars, two of which show a hinged termination. The original colour of the blade was most likely to have a been dark-grey, and exposure to the elements has resulted in the present whitish-grey appearance.

Broken waste flake found in eroding field edge.The mid-brown flint flake retains some cortex within the striking platform but was not the primary flake struck from the core – at least two earlier removals are visible on the dorsal face.The bulb of percussion is clearly visible to the proximal end of the ventral face and a smaller bulb scar can be seen within this.There are a number of other angular fractures also visible to this end, possibly a result of hinge or step terminations to other flake removals, or perhaps as a result of natural causes. The flake has been truncated c. 18…

Record ID: GAT-07B758
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Waste greyish-brown secondary flake with a pronounced dorsal ridge and which retains some cortex to the distal end. The ventral face shows a small bulb scar at the distal end whilst ripples emanate from the striking platform at the proximal end suggesting that the core from which it was taken was struck from either end during preparation. A number of other flake removals are evident on both faces. There appears to be some possible fine retouch along the edges.

Black chert blade with evidence for earlier removals from the core on the dorsal face.One side has a smooth wide cleavage plane emanating from the striking platform which appears to have been struck a second time in an attempt to thin the butt.Some retouch is evident.
