A post medieval cast lead-alloy powder charger cap of 17th century date. The cap is a sub-circular cup shape, with a flat base and vertical sides, and a lip around the rim. There is a single integral suspension loop at the base, which would have been used to secure the cap to both a gunpowder flask and a bandolier, via a looped cord (Courtenay, 1988, FRG Datasheet 11). The cap is mis-shapen and damaged, with old cracks and splits. The surface is plain and undecorated, with areas of light brown patina. Worn by British infantry musketeers, the cap formed the lid of a gunpowder charger …

Early to mid Neolithic serrated implement made from a tertiary flake of pale milky grey translucent flint with small white inclusions. One side and the distal end have been worked into a fine saw. The serration was created by micro flaking (short, parallel, cross abrupt) from the dorsal and ventral sides. The side opposite the serrated edge has a single long, and three much smaller, deliberate removals for 12mm (similar to YORYM-697977). The area between this removal and the proximal has been blunted with invasive, scaled, low angle retouch 4mm inward from the edge. The tip has a high…
