Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper or waisted tool, oblong in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the distal end is broken and the proximal end possibly snapped. The left margin has retouch mid way. On the ventral side there is retouch scarring on the left margin. There is a bulb of percussion on the proximal end. The flint is mottled pale to mid grey in colour with a dark cream secondary cortex. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 133, Fig. 56, No. 5 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

A translucent brown flint truncated flake with dark grey and marbled mid grey inclusions. The distal end has been truncted straight as has the proximal end but close to the bulb of percussion as dorsal platform preparation abrasion is still visible. There are parallel sharp margins and straight dorsal ridges. The margins are utilised with fine use wear. Mercer(1981) illustrates a truncated flake on page 143, fig 63, L196.

A thick cream, soft hammer struck flake with a finely serrated sharp left margin. The right distal ventral margin is shallowly retouched. The left proximal end has been retouched to straighten the edge. The piece may have been used as a cutting flake with the pebble cotex on the right margin backing it. Mercer(1981) illustrates a utilised flake on page 131, fig 57, L113.

A thick cortical flake worked invasively into the cortex with fine parallel ripple flaking around the margin except for the proximal end.The edge has been finished with stepped retouch to make it continous and un-serrated. The scraper has been exposed to damaging heat and has altered to opaque white with large cracks almost breaking it. Mercer(1981) illustrates a scraper on page 135, fig 59, L140.

A thick primary flake with pebble cortex of translucent grey and opaque cream flint. It has been removed by hard hammer. There is crude, bold retouch around most of the margin through the flawed flint. Parts of the flakework is undercut and abraded from use. The round object exposed under the cortex is a fossil bivalve shell. Mercer(1981) illustrates a scraper on page 135, fig 59, L140.

A primary flake with pebble cortex and opaque cream flint. It has been removed by hard hammer. There is a notch worked near the proximal end on the left ventral side. On the dorsal surface there is a heavily abraded edge as though there was an attempt to start the flaking face of a core. The distal facet has been shallowly abruptly retouched as an end scraper or to sharpen the spur on the distal end of the left margin. Mercer(1981) illustrates an edged flake on page 129, fig 56, L95.

A primary flake with reddish pebble cortex and yellow and opaque yellow cream flint; probably from heat treatment. The fractured left margin has some semi-abrupt retouch and use gloss. The oblique straight distal margin has been thinned by invasive retouch. The knife edge has an oblique snap through it. Mercer(1981) illustrates a knife on page 141, fig 62, L187.

A thick grey flint flake with opaque cream inclusions.It has been struck obliquely by hard hammer. The dorsal surface has several step fractures, probably due to the coarse inclusions. The right distal tip is backed by pebble cortex. Both lateral margins have been utilised with right ventral medial gloss and left mesal to distal end edge wear and slight semi-abrupt retouch. Mercer(1981) illustrates a utilised flake on page 131, fig 57, L116.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thick opaque cream grey and mid grey banded flint flake with an approximately pyramidal dorsal surface carrying truncated flake scars from different directions. It may have been removed from an exhausted and hence multi-platform core. The flake has a distal point. The left margin leading to it has been semi-abruptly retouched on its ventral side. On the opposite right convergent margin there is a notch. The flake scars are lustrous, suggesting that the flint may have been heated. Mercer(1981) illustrates a utilised flake on page 129, fig 56, L100.

A thin translucent brown flint flake with a feathered distal end and sharp, straight, slightly expanding margins, struck from an abraded small platform.The dorsal surface has parallel ridges with a hinged scar from the opposite direction.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of knapped flint knife - or possibly a reworked projectile point of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2900 BC - 1800 BC). The flint is sub-triangular in plan and an irregular trapezoid in cross section. The flint has been worked from a larger flake and the ventral face shows evidence of conchoidal ripples. The two long edges of the dorsal face show evidence of significant retouch which has been applied through pressure flaking; these have created a neat serrated edge. The lower short edge has several areas of vertical knapping on the butt suggesting it has been del…
