Record ID: HAMP-230AD7
Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle consisting of an ornate, cast frame and a sheet plate. The frame's large outer edge has large, knopped ends which travel slightly outwards. Between the knops are three transverse grooves, delineating two equal ridges; the pin sits between these latter. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. The frame is bevelled internally on both surfaces; the exterior is flat. The frame measures 16.2 by 16.15mm. A thick wire pin survives in situ. It has a moulded annular collar decorated with diagonal scoring. It is bent downwards slightly at its ce…

Record ID: PUBLIC-2227E1
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint end scraper, oval in plan, lozenge in profile and section. The dorsal face has retouch at the distal end and a layer of cream cortex over three-quarters of its surface down to the proximal end. The flint has iron staining at the proximal end on both faces and is light grey colour.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 132, Fig. 5.118, No. F21, which is dated to the Early Neolithic.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Narrow flint flake knife with signs of use wear on both margins, steeper on the LH margin as seen from dorsal view. There is a break at the proximal end, probably done deliberately. No signs of burning or retouch. Bond [p2004] shows an example from the later Neolithic, page 145, fig 5, also page 131, fig 27. The flint is mid grey in colour and is likely to have been derived from a local beach pebble.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint single-platform flake/blade core, curvilinear trapezoidal in plan and plano-convex in profile. The core has flakes/blades taken off three-quarters of the way around its axis, with a layer of cream cortex running from the platform down to the base on the remaining quarter section. The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 138, Fig. 5.125, No. F4, which is dated to the Early Neolithic.

Object type: GRAVER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint burin - dihedral type- with oblique truncation which could be a graver. Use wear on RH margin dorsal view. The flint has been abraded, showing on LH top from the dorsal view. There are no signs of burning. Clive Butler shows an example page 131, fig 35, No 9 which is dated from the early Neolithic. The flint is light grey/brown in colour with cream inclusions and is likely derived from a local beach pebble.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint single-platform flaked core, oval with straight top in plan and plano-convex in profile. The core has flakes removed two-thirds of the way around its axis, with a layer of cream cortex running from the platform down to the base on the remaining third section. The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 138, Fig. 5.125, No. F5, which is dated to the Early Neolithic.

Object type: MICROBURIN
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint distal microburin with no signs of use wear or retouch. It has not been broken or abraded but signs of possible burning. Flint is of a light grey colour and is likely derived from a local beach pebble. Bond [2004] shows an example from the Mesolithic page 62, fig 5 No 41.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Side and end scraper. The ventral face has no visible signs of retouch. The bulb of percussion is still present. Cortex covers most of the dorsal face. There is abrupt retouch at the distal end leaving an overhang above it. There is a notch in the left margin at the distal end. The notch appears to have been cut into a previous scraper edge. The right margin has been semi abruptly retouched. The piece is pebble flint and is brown i colour.
Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 128, Figure 53, No 3 which dates to the Early Neolithic.

Flint opposed-platform micro-core, curvilinear square in plan and triangular in profile. The core has flakes taken off three-quarters of the way around its axis, with a layer of light grey cortex running from one platform to the other on the remaining quarter section. The flint is dark grey colour with blue patches.

Object type: CRESTED BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A crested blade of great thickness. The chert is coarse grey/ brown flecked and opaque. Flake scars on the dorsal surface are truncated by others from different direcctions and indicate a core at the point of exhaustion with platforms of opportuity being exploited with no futher forward planning. For this removal it was not the end, with on an acutely profiled edge near the proximal end, a line of disimilar flakework; some semi abrupt and one twisted and invasive removal, worked from either side where necessary in order to produce a slightly serrated but unwavering knife edge. This d…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Scraper of minimal size in fine brown translucent flint. The straight line of abrupt retouch is worked on one edge of a thin and nearly flat fragment of a larger tool. All the other edges are snapped breaks and the ventral surface is missing leaving a slight concavity which has been taken advantage of to give the scraper a keener edge. The dorsal surface carries a short line of equal invasive flake scars feathering into a larger but equally flat one coming from the opposite direction and likewise truncated at the proximal ends by the fragmentation of the piece. This finest complete…

Record ID: PUBLIC-1FE4F0
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A bladelet of likely not Mesolithic age as the platform abrasion on the proximal dorsal end is less elaborate and what looks like blunting retouch along the entire right margin is only semi-abrupt. The left margin is unworked free blade and the distal end truncated straight. The flint is a fine translucent dark brown with cream flecks and is fresh looking. The blade may have been hafted with the retouch into a groove in the Mesolithic tradition but may be Neolithic.

Record ID: PUBLIC-1F8F35
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A squat flake with a prominent bulb of percussion; implying a hard hammer production. The flint is coarse and opaque mid-grey with a red tinge, particularly under the pebble cortex on the left dorsal margin. This suggests heat-treatment and the neat but minimal semi-abrupt retouch along the distal edge and the also glossy semi-invasive flaking on the right distal margin add up to an end scaper with side scraper or perhaps knife in the Mesolithic tradition and employing heat treatment as used by Mesolithic people to make pebbles of difficult material workable as widely as Luce sands, …

Record ID: PUBLIC-1F3DE2
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thin flake of flint with a previous parallel dorsal removal leaving thin nodular cortex on both lateral margins.The colour of the flint is shiny black and the subsequent edgework has a lustrous appearance. It may be that this flake or its parent core had been deliberately heat treated but in view of the fine flint it would not have been of much benefit so the heating was probably accidental. The even semi-abrupt retouch on the butt may have been used as a knife. The retouch on the break facet where the distal end has broken off is more like a scraper, being abrupt and less even but…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Late Saxon gilded copper alloy nummular brooch with broken remains of loop for pin and catchplate on reverse. The front is decorated with what seems to be a facing bust with radiating lines forming a background. The image is rather unusual even bearing in mind the variety of images encountered on these brooches. Facing busts are known on two brooches from Norfolk, one from Wramplingham (Norfolk Historic Environment Record number 33055) and another uncovered during excavations at Bull Close, Norwich (Marsden, A. B. in Norfolk Archaeology, 2008) but both of these are quite different i…
