Oval in plan, concave in profile, mottled grey/bronw piece of flint. Dorsal face distal end has retouch from the medial to left margin of the edge, the distal edge appears to be darker in colour to the rest of the piece. The right margin is sharp and may have been retouched in places, may have been a blade/knife. The proximal edge appears stepped, as if pieces have been broken off, possible attempt at backing (but not very well), with the left margin and edge appearing sharp and more prominent on the dorsal face. The ventral face appears very smooth from the proximal to medial an…

Flint awl or piercer, almost diamond shaped in plan and lozenge shaped in profile with one end more rounded. The upper right and left margins have been retouched. The lower left margin has some non-beach cortex on it covering 1-49% of the total surface area. The flint is a dark brown streaked with ochre in colour. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 137, Fig. 60, No. L 171 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular core which has been extensively worked in one direction and shows slight evidence of being worked in a secon direction (from the opposite end) to produce small blades or microliths of probable later Mesolithic date (5000-3500 BC). The core is probably derived from a riverine pebble and has several areas of irregular surface caused by movement. The fragment is worn and the remains of working / striking platforms is lost. There is no evidence of rejuvenation flakes or multi platform working. The core is a mid- grey colour with a slightly milky white coloured patina. The cor…

Flint core tool, possibly used as a scraper. It is sub-oval in plan. There is a platform at one end and flakes have been removed part-way round. It has been retouched on the edge of the platform. The flint is opaque, dark grey in colour, with white flecks and patches of off-white patina. There is secondary cortex. It is likely that it was derived from a local beach pebble. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 138, Figure 5.125, F11, which is dated to the Early Neolithic.

A translucent smokey brown piece of flint, square in plan and flat in profile. Conchoidal waves are present on both the dorsal and ventral faces. The dorsal face appears to have been retouched down the whole of the left margin edge, the proximal end has been removed below the bulb of percussion leaving sharp edges implying it has been snapped off rather than worked, while the distal edge has smoother sides implying retouching or deliberate wear and tear.

Mottled light to dark grey flint blade, appears to have been snapped at the distal end, this end showing clean sharp edges indicative of snapping rather than being reworked. The proximal end dorsal face shows signs of retouching at the base of the medial ridge, which runs along the dorsal face ending at the distal end of the artefact. The left side of the medial ridge (dorsal face) has a gentle concave slope ending at the left margin, whcih shows some signs of retouching, the right side of the medial ridge has a more steeper concave slope ending at the right margin.

A pale grey blade flake, convex in profile, the dorsal face has about 50% cortex covering its face on the left side, there appear to be indentations on the right side of the dorsal face and right margin. Proximal end has been snapped through the bulb of percussion. The right margin is sharp but does not appear to exhibit any obvious signs of retouching. Described by William Andrefsky, Lithics Macroscopic Approaches to Analysis, as a Conchoidal flake, page 19 figure 27.

A mottled grey to brown flake knife, appears to have been bifacially worked, the proximal end, right margin on the dorsal face shows signs of retouch resulting in a blade edge. Left side of the dorsal face exhibits several strike marks from proximal to distal edges. The ventral face, shows signs of heat damage, with at least three 'blow out' impressions within the surface of the flint, the bulb of percussion appears to be present but has been partially removed by the heat damage and retouching. The distal edge appears to have been broken then backed.

A mottled brown piece of flint, appears to have been subjected to intense heat on the dorsal face, the dorsal face is shiny in comparison the the ventral face. The proximal end appears to have been snapped, with the edges still sharp, the bulb of percussion is still present on the ventral face, which also exhibits an indentation at the centre of the face. The right and left margins are sharp but so not exhibit any signs of retouching. The artefact appears to be the tip of a small knife.

Flint edged blade, rectangular in plan, concave-convex in profile and triangular in section. The blade has been retouched on the left and right margins of the dorsal face with some serration. The proximal and distal ends have been snapped off. The cortex is tertiary degree. The flint is a translucent pale grey with cream flecks and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A single platform blade core on a piece of nodular flint from outside Cornwall; where it only occurrs as rolled pebbles. Flint colour is mid/dark grey with grey inclusions. The major platform has not been abraded prior to blade removal and the ridges are not very parallel. These features and the use of nodular flint, which occurred late in this Westerly location suggests that the period is Later Neolithic rather than Mesolithic. A new platform was attempted from the rear face but abandoned after some small flake removals.Butler,2005 shows a similar core on p.156, fig.65.1.
