Record ID: PUBLIC-1B5995
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description by Nicholas Thomas:
This is a utalized blade flake.
The dorsal face has flake scars along both margins. Both edges have been used and there is possibly some gloss on the straight edges.
The ventral face has scars along both edges and a small bulbal scar. The proximal end is snapped.
The flint is grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.
MERCER (1981) illustrates a similar piece on P143 Fig 63 No L198 which he calls a truncated flake and dates to the late Neolithic and early Bron…

Object type: SAW
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall

Flint pebble saw, triangular in plan and section, and lozenge in profile. Bulb on ventral face, with denticulated retouch along the left edge. A layer of cream cortex covers the dorsal face except where retouch is present along the right edge. The flint is dark grey colour with lighter and darker inclusions.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 143, Fig. 5.129, No. F150, which is dated to the later Neolithic.

Description by Nicholas Thomas:
This is a side snapped blade flake with retouch on one margin.
The right dorsal face has been retouched completely. There are flake scars at the proximal and distal ends. The ventral face has no visible retouch. The distal end has small scars. The ventral right margin has been snapped.
The flint is honey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.

This is a blade flake with retouch on both margins.
The dorsal face has a short length of retouch at the proximal end and the right margin. The ventral face ha sa longer retouched right margin with the retouch done from the dorsal face.
The flint is mottled grey and pale brown in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description by Nicholas Thomas:
This is a side scraper with a notch.
The dorsal face is mainly cortex, with retouch at the right lateral margin and a small notch at the proximal end of the right margin. The dorsal left margin has one long flake scar. The ventral face has flake scars over most of its surface.
The flint is mottled dark and light grey and pale brown in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its primary cortex.

Description by Nicholas Thomas:
This is a side scraper.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An edge trimmed flake which has been bi-facially retouched and expediently made.
The left margin and distal end of the dorsal face exhibits discontinuous retouch with a low angle and is of edge extent giving a serrated edge. The same retouch is evident on the ventral face improving cutting function.
There is fracturing at the proximal end and the right margin has been snapped.
Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on p129, Fig 56, L100 which dates to the Neolithic.
