Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint graver, rhomboidal in plan, trapezoidal in profile and triangular in section. Made on a tertiary flake with no cortex remaining. On the dorsal face the remnant of the bulb of percussion is visible at the proximal end, together with a bulbar scar, although the point of percussion has been removed by subsequent removal of the striking platform. The scars of the removal of three earlier longitudinal flakes are visible on the ventral face. The resulting flake has been reworked around all of its edges: when viewed from the ventral side the right hand edge and the distal end have bo…

Two flint gravers, sub-rectangular in plan, lozenge-shaped in profile, and triangular in section. On the larger graver, the dorsal face has been retouched at the distal end and along both margins, with the right margin worked more abruptly into a graver edge. There is a small patch of cortex on the dorsal face at the distal end and patches of iron staining on both faces. On the smaller graver, the ventral face has also been abruptly retouched along the left margin into a notched edge and along the right margin into a serrated edge. The flint is a mottled pale to mid grey colour, but w…

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic worked translucent grey/brown flint graver/burin on a blade. An attempt has been made to remove 12mm of the dorsal ridge at the distal end with three removals. One large flake has removed most of the proximal end, leaving the point that could be used as a graver or burin. Dates to between c8300 and c3500 BC. The length is 36mm, width 9.5mm, thickness 5mm, and the weight is 1.5g.

A broad, thin soft hammer struck flake of brown and grey marbled nodular flint. The dorsal surface carries parallel flake and blade scars from the same direction as the major flake removal.The left margin is sharp and unmodified but for very slight use chipping or damage.The right margin has had a projection accentuated by a mesal notch worked in fine semi-abrupt retouch. The strong right angle shaped graver produced has had repetitive use with the tip ground and glossy and a streak of use gloss running from it on the ventral side.

Flint notched graver, rectangular in plan, trapezoidal in profile and pentagonal in section. Bulb on ventral face, with retouched notch on right edge. Uploaded image is profile view. The flint is light grey colour with lighter inclusions. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 131, Fig. 55, No. 4, which is dated to the Neolithic.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint graver, crescent-shaped in plan and profile, and plano-convex in section. There is cortex along the distal edge. On the dorsal face the left margin has a broad, shallow indentation to allow its use as a graver. Along the indented edge is retouch, most noticeably on the ventral face. The flint is dark grey with pale mottling and secondary cortex; most likely it derived from a local beach pebble. It is most likely a graver but bears a resemblance to a scraper in Bond (2004) on page 184, Figure 75, Number 6.

Flint graver, a reversed 'C' in plan, with primary cortex providing backing; it is noticeable that the patch of cortex towards the proximal end is far smoother, perhaps from use. The left margin is concave and worn. The flint is pale brown and is likely to have derived from a local beach pebble. It is most likely a graver. Bond (2004) shows a hollow scraper of similar appearance on page 184, Figure 75, Number 6, but this example is a graver, not a scraper.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Chunky piece of flint which has been truncated at one end, the broad part of the flake. It has been worked along one edge which is oppposite the cortex; this worked edge looks like a chipped edge with some indentations which form the graver. The cortex acts as backing. The profile of the flake is concave. The flint is light grey in colour with shading to darker grey at one end and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig.71, No.8 which is dated to the later Neolithic.

Small flake, or chip, with one of the edges worked to form a shallow notch so could be called a graver. There is some cortex on the dorsal face which acts as backing and there is a flat area on the dorsal face below the notch. The ventral face is flat, not shaped. The flint is a light to mid grey colour with lighter grey splodges and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig. 55, No.5 which is dated to the early Neolithic.

Flint flake, sub-rectangular in plan, bi-convex in profile and section. On the dorsal face there is retouch along the distal edge, which also has a notch and a projection. The left margin also shows retouch. The proximal edge has removals that would have allowed the piece to have been held more comfortably. On the dorsal face a small patch of gloss can be seen on the projection. It is pale grey flint without cortex, so it is classed as tertiary.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Large piece of cortex flake with a step facture across the middle which has neatly removed a chunk of the flint. The edges without cortex have been worked and a notch formed at the right angle in the flake caused by the step fracture. It could be described as a graver, or a notched flake. The other side, back, is flat. There is natural abrasion at end of the edge which has been trimmed. The flint is a light grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig. 5 , No.5 which is dated to the early Neolithic.

A pointed blade of translucent black flint with the distal end sharpened by a burin strike to make a graver.There is abrasion on each convergent margin next to it. The rest of the lateral margins have slight retouch and use, particularly some semi-abrupt work around the lower right margin where it meets the proximal end.Butler(2005) illustrates a graver on page 131, fig 55, 7.

Flint graver, three-sided column shape in plan and in profile and triangular in section. The three straight-ridged sides appear to have some slight damage. The distal tip is snapped and the proximal end comprised of cortex. The flint is pale grey flecked on a dark brown toned base and a secondary cortex of dark beige. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 109, Fig. 5.93, No. 163 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.

Chert graver, near diamond-shaped in plan, bi-convex in profile and section. On the dorsal face, the non-corticated (presumed distal) end appears to be tapered but it is unlikely that this was for hafting. The corticated edges show damage. It is most likely a pressure tool, rather than one used for cutting or scraping. The right margin is backed, and since the left margin has damage it would appear to have been the working edge. It is a dull amber chert with cream cortex. There is primary cortex and it is likely to have derived from a local beach pebble. Butler (2005) shows a simila…

Flint flake which has been fashioned into a graver. There is retouch along edge using a notch to form the graver tool. There is a natural ledge which could be used as backing. The pointed end opposite the notch and retouched edge has been abraded, probably naturally. The flint is a mottled grey and cream in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 88, fig 5.73 No 2 which is dated to the Neolithic.

A flint flake with a well defined notch so could be described as a graver. There is a considerable amount of gloss from use wear on the ventral side of the flake and this extends along the right hand edge from the distal to nearly the proximal end. The notch has been worked from the ventral side. There is also trimming along the right hand edge, ventral side, which coincides with the gloss from use wear. There is natural abrasion at the proximal. No cortex remains. The flint is a medium grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Mercer [1981] illustrates a si…
