A good example of a late Neolithic to early Bronze Age 'horseshoe' type flint scraper. From the flat platform area at the top, the sides angle downwards, creating a roughly trapezoidal top section; the lower two thirds of the implement have rounded edges. The surface of the tool is convex and has been extensively worked. Several vertical and angled flake removal scars mark a central ridge from which radiate downwards several other scars. The majority of narrow scars are concentrated around the bottom end of the tool, although there is evidence of finer retouch and grinding around al…

A good example of a flint 'thumbnail' type scraper of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. At the top, the implement retains a portion of the flat core platform. From here the sides angle downwards and outwards, extending into a rounded bottom edge. The upper surface of the tool is convex, having been formed by the removal of a radiating pattern of narrow flakes. The majority of retouch is to the distal and right hand (as you look at it) edges. The reverse is flat and the bulb-of-percussion has been removed. The flint is light to mid grey in colour and has little surface patinat…

Lithic implements 1) 3 truncated blades average size length 17mm, width 10mm, thickness 3mm. One arise on the dorsal, soft hammered bulb on the ventral. On two of the examples only the distal section remains, the last is missing both of the distal and proximal ends, these are old breaks. Two have a light creamy patina, the last is a dark grey with patina forming. These objects dates to the Late Mesolithic-Early Neolithic. 2) Leaf-shaped arrowhead length 21mm, width 15mm, thickness 4mm.

A flint End scraper of early Neolithic date. The implement has been made from a large, thick, broad flake of roughly rectangular form. At one of the two narrow ends the tool retains a portion of the flat core platform. The convex upper surface of the tool has been formed by the removal of six long flakes, scars for which remain. Most of the retouch is to the angled and rounded end, where there are much smaller flake removal scars and fine retouch along the edge. The lower halves of the two long sides have also been subject to the removal of fine chippings, which has created serrated…

A triangular flint scraper of probable late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. No exact parallel could be found for this piece and, although its form can be compared with that of some arrowheads of the period, it would appear to be too large to have performed this function. The tool has been made from a broad flake. The convex upper surface has been formed by the removal of both broad and narrower flakes, which are aligned in several different directions, but mostly radiate outwards from the centre, angling downwards to the edges. All three sides show signs of having been finely re…

A pointed flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic (c. 500,000 - 300,000 BC) date. The tool has been made from a large flint nodule. At the butt end there remains a portion of the original cortex. The tool tapers upwards from the rounded butt, decreasing gradually in width and thickness towards the rounded point. There are several broad flake removal scars, which radiate downwards and outwards from the butt end, whilst the edges have received much finer retouching. The reverse has less evidence of working, but there are several broad flake removal scars near the butt. The flint is a pati…

Object type: LITHIC CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint single-platform microlith blade core, triangular in plan, oval in section and trapezoidal in profile. The core has had blades taken off it on only two thirds of the way around its central axis, with a layer of cortex running from one third of the edge of the platform down to the base of the core. The flint is a translucent brown-grey colour and the curvature of the core suggests that it was made from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is 4:5, which is usual for micro-cores. Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on page 120, Fig.5.104, No.82, which is dated…

Flint snapped end scraper, semi-circular in plan, triangular in section and in profile. The proximal end and both sides of the dorsal face have been unimarignally retouched. There is also a nick in the right edge of the dorsal face, but this is probably due to damage and not deliberate. The scraper may have been broken through use if enough pressure was applied to shear it off from the other half that was still held in the haft. Alternatively, it may have been broken since being deposited through coming into contact with agricultural machinery. See CORN-2286F2 and CORN-24A3D6 for si…
