Square shaped piece of grey coloured flint with some cream inclusions. Dorsal face, distal edge left side appears to be the remains of cortex material. The left margin appears to exhibits elements of retouch along its edge from just below the medial to the junction with the distal edge. The actual distal edge appears to have a point in the middle, the actual edge is clean and does not appear to have been subject to retouch. The right margin does appear to have been subject to retouch from the distal edge to just below the medial. The ventral face is smooth in appearance, and disp…

A circular piece of flint, dark brown in colour with some light coloured inclusions, over 90% cortex remaining on the surface. Appears to be a core preparation flake converted into a small scraper. The cortex is smooth in texture and appearance, although it does exhibit a hole on the dorsal face proximal end of the piece, probably originates from a local beach. Retouch appears to start on the left margin below the medial and terminate at the top of the right margin just past the distal edge.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment from a copper-alloy post-medieval sword-belt hanger/mount corresponding to just over a third of the original mount. This strap-fitting would have consisted overall of a mount with three suspension loops from which a trio of hooked plates would have hung; in turn, the scabbard straps would have been attached to these plates. The mount features foliate decoration on its visible face (front). The fragment ends in a trefoilate terminal within the central petal of which is a rivet hole; the rivet is missing. Beyond the side petals comes a waist after which it widens towards w…

Lozenge shaped piece of flint, predominantly light grey in colour, there does appear to be some cortex remaining on the piece which is evident on the right side adjacent to the right margin and distal edge. The dorsal face is uneven in texture and appearance, possibly a core refresh flake reutilised. The proximal edge is straight and could represent the former core striking platform, the left margin is thin enough to represent an edged blade, but no obvious retouch appears present on the edges or surface. The distal edge as previously stated is comprised of cortex which is over 5 m…

A beach pebble, mid to dark grey in colour, converted to an end scraper. The dorsal face has over 70% cortex remaining on the surface, the left margin is uneven and appears to have been struck. The distal edge has been subject to retouch along its edge, terminating at the junction with the right margin which appears straight in plan but is actually uneven. The proximal edge is comprised of cortex which is slightly darker than the surface material but continues round the piece touching upon the ventral face. The ventral face is uneven and consists of a smooth upper area toward the …

Dark brown piece of flint, with a patch of about 1% cortex on the dorsal face. The piece exhibits abrasions on several edges around its body, described by the finder a sa possible strike a light, the dorsal face is uneven, with no discernable retouch to the edges or face. The piece has been struck in places but it cannot be ascertained as to whether this was deliberate retouch or natural processes. The top of the right margin is abraded as is the base of the proximal edge, the base of the left margin appears also to be abraded. The distal edge is uneven and exhibits abrasions alon…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
A post-medieval copper-alloy dress hook with a pierced circular plate, rectangular loop and long hook. The point of the hook is missing, the hook truncated as it begins to curve back. The hook and loop are opposite each other and are both D-shaped in cross-section. The central plate is circular with a thin raised cross and central pellet on its front; the ends of the arms meet a raised circular border. Outside this border the edge is beaded apart from below the loop where the beading is far smoother and less pronounced. In each quarter of the cross on the plate are four circular pierc…

Large piece of light grey flint. The dorsal face exhibits two ridges averaging 18 mm apart, running proximal to distal edges. The proximal edge is uneven , the left margin projects out in a bulge until just past the medial where it becomes concave, this concave depression appears to have been subject to retouch, as does the area around the medial prior to reaching the depression in the margin. The distal edge appears flatter and consistent with a scraper edge, although the full edge is more in keeping with a flake with a hinged termination point having been removed from a core. …

An uneven piece of flint, with distinct light grey and dark grey border in the middle, of the dorsal face. There appears to be a band of cortex remaining at the medial but this looks as if it's in an inner skin, The artefact is not smooth in appearance but exhibits angles all over its surface structure, the proximal edge appears to be a straight edge running up toward the right margin. The left margin above the medial appears to exhibit a hint of retouch below the point at the distal edge. The distal edge is a sharp point, which terminates as a flattened edge, sharp enough to pierc…

Lozenge shaped piece of translucent brown flint, plano convex in profile. The dorsal face appears uneven and exhibits negative scarring associated with the side of a core. The distal edge surface appears abraded, may even be the remains of a removed cortex, but difficult to ascertain. The actual distal edge appears to have been subject to retouch along its edge, similar in appearance to a scraper edge. The right margin is uneven is along its edge, the edges are clean in appearance, until reaching the proximal edge, where the edge may have been subject to some light retouch. The l…

A piece of flint two tone in colour, translucent brown and light grey, the brown appearing more in keeping with flint, with the light grey appearing more cherty. The distal edge appears to have been subject to retouch along its edge, consistent with a scraper edge. The right margin appears to also have been subject to retouch along its edge, but this is messy and confused in its form. The proximal edge appears jagged and uneven, while the left margin appears to have been untouched. Above the medial the left margin appears blade like , although now more blunt. Could have been used…

Elongated piece of dark grey flint. The dorsal face exhibits a medial ridge which separates the sloping smooth left side from an uneven right side. The proximal edges is flat and straight in appearance, possibly the edge of a striking platform or has been snapped off.
