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.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flake of mid to dark grey flint with a white to pale grey patination covering c.90% of the surface and small patches of iron staining. The flake has been badly damaged by plow action and is now very worn and broken. The bulb of percussion is present on the ventral face with visible evenly spaced waves across the face. There is a flake removal scar on the dorsal face towards the distal end. It measures 26.7mm long, 32.1mm wide, 7.4mm thick and weighs 5.72g. It dates from the Neolithic period to the Early Bronze Age, 2150-1500 BC.

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. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 63, Fig. 5.45, No. L. 102…

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.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…
