Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A side variant scraper which has been bi-facially retouched and expediently manufactured. The left margin of the dorsal face exhibits continuous retouch with an abrupt angle (backed) to facilitate handling of the scraper and is of long type in extent. The right margin posseses partial retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type in extent. The morphology of both lateral margins retouch is of sub-parallel type.

An extended end variant scraper which has been uni-facially retouched and expediently manufactured. Flake scars are in evidence over the entire distal end of the dorsal face and partially continues along both lateral margins. Additionally, the distal end of the dorsal face exhibits continuous retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of long type in extent. The morphology of the distal and lateral margin retouch is of sub-parallel type. Concoidal ripples are present on the ventral face and the bulb of percussion has been removed. Cortex remains on approx 60% of the dorsal face whi…

The distal end of the dorsal face exhibits partial retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type in extent. The morphology of the distal retouch is of sub-parallel type. Flake scars are in evidence on the left side of the dorsal face combined with similar retouch, to that found at the distal end, continuing extensively along the left margin. Concoidal ripples are present on the ventral face and the bulb of percussion has been removed. The scraper is light grey in colour wit…

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A soft hammer struck bladelet of cream brown translucent flint. The platform was abraded before striking with micro bladelet scars on the dorsal proximal surface. Bladelet scars converge towards the distal end. There is an abruptly worked notch in the right margin and the pointed distal tip has been utilised. A small triangular facet has developed of less than 1 millimetre square. It is differentiated from an existing truncated facet or distal damage by the several sub-facets that make its surface; indicating tool use with slight changes of working angle. Bond(2004) illustrates a notc…

A double sided variant scraper which has been uni-facially retouched and expediently manufactured. The left margin of the dorsal face exhibits partial retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type in extent. The morphology of this retouch is of sub-parallel type. There is similar retouch to the right margin but this is not so extensive and concentrated at the half way point of the margin. Concoidal ripples are present on the ventral side and the bulb of percussion has been removed. The scraper is light grey and cream in colour, is sub-ovate in plan and sub-rectangular in …

Record ID: PUBLIC-990361
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
Possible oblique arrowhead, on flake fragment of dark brown translucent flint. There is a sharp, pointed, invasively flaked distal end. The oblique distal margin is invasively bifacially retouched to a sharp edge. The lower oblique margin is also bifacially worked but blunted. Opposite this on the straight sharp margin is a length of semi-abrupt bifacial but again blunted flakework. The proximal end is likely therefore to have been for holding or hafting as a knife or as an oblique arrowhead of unusual plan. Butler(2005) illustrates a diversity of Later Neolithic arrowheads on page 16…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete late medieval cast copper alloy buckle. About two-thirds survives, which constitutes half the frame, the pin and pin bar. The surviving loop is rectangular, with all edges slightly concave. There are thick flat projecting trefoils on the corners, the two surviving examples decorated with an engraved diagonal cross dividing the foils and a dot in each of the three foils. The frame in between is sub-rectangular in cross-section; it is decorated with short oblique grooves in alternating directions forming a broken zig-zag design, interspaced with punched dots. It seems like…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete late medieval or early post-medieval cast copper-alloy buckle with a decorated frame, minus its pin.The frame is circular, and has a central bar which is now cracked through the centre. There is iron corrosion on the bar. The frame has short steep bevelled edges, but these edges are cut into by longer, shallower square sloping panels set alternately on the exterior and interior edges, giving a crenellated or castellated appearance. Each end of the bar is marked by a slightly larger square bevelled panel set at the exterior edge; in between, the panels are not set particu…

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small rectangular fragment of a Roman cast copper alloy bracelet. The upper surface has a plain longitudinal band at the centre. Flanking this are two narrower bands of segmented, ropework grooves; outside each ropework band there is a shallow groove. The breaks are straight but not vertical, suggesting that this has been cut from the complete bracelet with the possible intention of recyling. Bracelets of this ftype were found in excavations at Baldock, Hertfordshire. According to Stead and Rigby, such broad, thin-sectioned bracelets appear to be a product of the earlier Roman per…

Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thumb nail scraper worked with invasive parallel fine removals on a thick and short tertiary flake of translucent grey brown flint with cream flecks. Most of the margin has been worked except for the striking platform and the right oblique margin. There is a little fine abrupt finishing retouch to the distal edge and some ventral chipping from use. Butler(2005) illustrates a thumb nail scraper on page 66, fig 70, 9.

Object type: STYLUS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy object of Medieval to post-Medieval date. It is possibly a stylus. There is a blunt point, which is split due to a fault in the metal. The stylus is hammered flat towards the terminal to create the flat spatula terminal.. The stylus is circular in section towards the tip with a diameter of 4mm. This end is 6mm wide and 2.5mm thick. 76mm long (bent). The stylus is circular in section towards the tip with a diameter of 4mm. An exact parallel for this object has not yet been found. The lack of exact parallel may be due to the fact that this seems to be a …

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A core worked on mid grey flint with opaque cream inclusions. It has been exhausted and formed into a cube shape. From 1 platform it has been worked on 3 sides and the remaining ones have been worked at 90 degrees to it as a 2 platform core. The edges have been abraded and mostly successful feathered flakes produced with only 1 stepped termination. Butler(2005) illustrates a similar core on page 120, fig 47, 3.

A core worked on a pebble of dark grey brown translucent flint with opaque cream grey inclusions. A single platform has been used to strike flakes from an abraded edge. Three quarters of the edge is used and there are 3 square centimetres of platform remaining. Further progress has been prevented by hinges and stepped terminations on the core face. Mercer(1981) illustrates a similar core on page 121, fig 52, L26.

An opposed platform core on a dark orange brown or caramel flint pebble. The platform edges are abraded and flakes and blades have been produced. One platform plan is quite convex with a little gloss near the edge on the platform and flaking face. It may have been re-used as a scraper.
