Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint pebble edged-flake, triangular in plan and profile, and kite in section. A layer of light cream cortex is present on the proximal end with serrated retouch at the distal end on the dorsal face. The flint is grey colour with lighter flecks. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 143, Fig. 63, No. L206, which is dated to the Neolithic.

Flint pebble end-scraper, oval in plan, rectangular in profile and lozenge in section. Bulb on ventral face, with retouch on the right edge and snapped on the left of the distal end. Scraper retouch on the remaining three quarters of the distal end on the dorsal face, with notched right edge. Possible a re-used blade. The flint is honey grey colour with lighter flecks. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 127, Fig. 51, No. 1, which is dated to the earlier Neolithic.

Chert blade, pentagonal in plan, curvilinear triangle in profile and ellipse in section. Bulb on ventral face, notched on the left edge, serrated retouch on the right edge, and gloss on the bulb. Retouch on the upper left edge of dorsal face. The chert is slate grey colour with lighter flecks and is therefore likely to be Portland chert. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 135, Fig. 5.121, No. F54, which is dated to the earlier Neolithic.

County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper, ovoid in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. The dorsal side is convex with a mostly cortex covered surface. The edges are unifacially retouched with a notch on the upper distal end. On the ventral side the distal end has a bulb of percussion with some flake removal. The right margin is retouched and there is some retouch scarring on the left margin. The flint is pale putty grey with a secondary cortex of brown cream in colouring. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 133, Fig. 58, No. L. 130 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Flint flake, almost square in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. The dorsal side is convex with some lateral large flake removal. The distal end is part cortex and part retouched. The proximal end is snapped with a small area of retouch on the right end. The left margin is partly retouched while the left is cortex. On the ventral side the bulb of percussion is on the distal end. The proximal end has some fractured flake removal. The flint has mid grey tones with a secondary cortex of dark cream in colour.

A small, thin, triangular section double hard hammer struck flake of grey brown flint with cream flecks. There is a small patch of nodular cortex on the distal end.The edges have been utilised with discontinuous semi-abrupt removals and a short run of retouch towards the proximal end of the left margin as seen from the ventral margin. Mercer(1981) illustrates a small flake on page 131, fig 57, L109.

Flint flake, ovoid in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. The dorsal side is convex and part hinge fractured with large flake removal and part covered by cortex. The distal end is both retouched and fractured. The left margin has a sharp edge while the right is abrupt edged with retouch on the lower end. The ventral side has a flat surface with retouch scarring on the lower left margin near the proximal end. The flint is semi translucent and pale to mid grey in tone with a secondary cortex of dark cream in colour. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 186, Fig. 76, N…

Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is orangey-brown on the exterior and on the interior of the sherd. This gabbroic fabric is seen on comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).
