Mid brown in colour piece of flint with off white inclusions, appears to be a waste flake converted to a blade. The dorsal face proximal edge has a concave gouge in the middle, the right margin has a notch, may have some retouch around its edge, but certain. The distal edge is thinner than the rest of the piece, the left side appears broken with the edges still clean. The left margin also appears to have been worked below the medial, with some minor retouch along the edge.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Circular piece of dark grey/brown flint, with about 10% cortex remaining on the dorsal face, the cortex is smooth in texture. The dorsal face has a prominent projection left of centre of the face, while the proximal edge right side, appears to be a protruding point, with cortex on its surface. It would appear to be a piercer point.... Possible retouch on the proximal edge and upper right margin. The ventral face is uneven, with no bulb of percussion present, the left margin is smooth and appears to be a hinged termination. The point of what appears to be a piercer is more promine…

A crescent shaped dark grey and black piece of flint. The dorsal face has a prominent ridge running adjacent to the right margin, proximal to distal edges. The right side of the ridge is steep to the margin edge, while the left side slopes downs to the left margin, in a concave depression. The left margin exhibits slight retouch along its edge. The distal edge is straight in appearance, but appears to have no retouch along the edge, the edge is steep enough to be the edge of a scraper. The proximal edge appears irregular. The ventral face exhibits a bulb of percussion which appe…

Record ID: PUBLIC-70FEB6
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flake of grey brown flint with the right margin backed by pebble cortex. On the dorsal surface there remains the flakelet scars of platform preparation prior to flake removal. At the distal end there is a small notch and a little abrupt retouch on the adjacent margin to create a small spur which may have been used as a piercer. This expedient tool is one of many found in this locality. Butler(2005) describes 'utilised and retouched flakes or blades' on page 134.
