Object type: GRAVER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This blade has been semi abruptlyretouched from a central ridge towards the left margin of the dorsal face to create a serrated edge. The margin leads up to a broken graver tip. The right side has abrupt retouch to create a fingertip rest. The flint is light grey to cream in colour with secondary cortex at the proximal end. The bulb is visible on the ventral face at the very proximal end. Bond has illustrated a similar graver on Page 146 Fig 5.132 which he dates to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This double edged blade has been fractured cleanly at both ends. The dorsal face shows shallow retouch from a central ridge and partial platform at the proximal end to create sharp edges. The left margin has a zigzag edge and the suggestion of a notch, both probably signs of use wear. There is no retouch on the ventral face. It is deep cream in colour with tertiary cortex and likely formed from beach pebble. Bond has illustrated a similar blade on Page 51 Figure 5.7 which he places from late Mesolithic to Mid Neolithic.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete and well preserved copper alloy double-loop rectangular buckle, both loops rectangular and identical. The iron pin is missing ,leaving a corrosion stain on the central bar. The frame is bent up slightly about the bar. There is a double ridge across the frame at either end of the pin bar. On the outer edge of each loop are four deep rebates (or rabbets), leaving five rectangular projections. Each has decoration of one horizontal groove (parallel to the pin) and two vertical grooves; the two vertical grooves contain two continuous reddish copper wires running over the rabb…

Object type: BORER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Borer/ piercer. This piece has been retouched on the dorsal face at the distal end to create a point. There are multiple flake scars on the dorsal face. Cortex still remains at a secondary level. The bulb of percussion is still present on the ventral face but no signs of retouch are present. The piercer, made of nodular flint, has been made on a rejuvenation flake and is dark grey in colour. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 143, Fig 5.129, No F156 which dates to the Neolithic period.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper alloy double-loop buckle frame, both loops rectangular. Both loops have a bevelled outside edge. One loop is slightly bigger than the other and has a grooved pin rest in the centre of the outside edge. It is in good condition, although it is missing its pin. Length 47.0mm, width 42.0mm, thickness 4.1mm, and weight 22.7g. Relatively large rectangular buckle frames such as this one appear to date to the late medieval or early post-medieval periods, c. 1400-1600.

Scraper. This scraper has been made on a two platform core. The retouch is at 90 degrees to one of the platforms. There is some cortex remaining on part of the second platform. The flake removals are irregular with some ending in a step fracture. The scraper is made from pebble flint and is light grey in colour. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 110, Fig 5.94, L3 which dates to the Mesolithic period.

Scraper. This scraper has been made onto a face of a single platform core with the retouch at 90 degrees to the platform edge. There is cortex remaining, completely covering one face of the core (the reverse face to the flake removals). Both bladelet and flake scars are present. The piece is pebble flint which is dark grey in colour. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 110, Fig 5.94, L2 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast double-loop buckle, both loops oval. The bar projects very slightly beyond the frame as a moulded ridge. A copper-alloy wire pin survives, with open loop and circular cross-section. The buckle has a chunky quarter-circle cross-section. Length 21.8mm, width 17.8mm, thickness 1.9mm, and weight 2.8g. The metal of this buckle is unusual. It is very grey and battered, suggesting it is relatively soft, and it was originally recorded as pewter, The pin was recorded as iron. Both elements, however, have patches of greenish corrosion, and it is perhaps more likely that both are made of…

Flint end scraper with natural fault in flint at distal end. The bulb of percussion can be seen on flake at proximal end. There appear to be no signs of wear. The flint is a light brown/grey colour with some light smoke brown flecks and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 137, Fig. 5.124, No. F22 which is dated from the Neolithic.
