Record ID: BH-077696
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake of uncertain date. The secondary flake is sub-rectangular (having outward-bowing mesial sides) and of triangular cross section. There is limited evidence for retouch at both the proximal and distal ends. On the ventral surface, the bulb of percussion is low and there are no ripples. The white surface of the exposed flint indicates deposition within an alkaline soil. Length: 44mm; width: 28.3mm; thickness: 11.2mm. Weight: 11.45g.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint side and end scraper, probably dating from the Bronze Age (c. 2350 - 801 BC). The tool has been made from a secondary flake, is 'pear-shaped' and of sub-triangular cross section. Retouch begins halfway down the right-hand mesial edge, extending around the distal end of the scraper and is long, sub-parallel and abrupt. Part of the striking platform remains, with a striking point and bulbar scar on the adjacent portion of the ventral surface. The white surface of the exposed flint is indicative of deposition in alkaline soil; there is also some iron staining. Length: 31.3m…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper of probable Bronze Age date (c. 2350 - 801 BC). The tool has been made from a tertiary flake and is of rectangular cross section. The mesial sides are straight, parallel and the distal end is rounded; the proximal end has been deliberately truncated at an angle, removing the striking point. Retouch, confined to the distal end, is long, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt. No ripples are visible on the ventral surface. The white surface of the exposed flint is indicative of deposition in alkaline soil. Length: 39.2mm; width: 32.2mm; thickness: 10.1mm. Weight: 17.25g.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end and side scraper, probably dating from the Mid Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (c. 1600 BC - c. 401 BC). The piece is suboval in plan, of 'D-shaped' section and retains much of the original cortex, indicating that it may have been struck from a natural nodule. Retouch, which is long, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt, is located at the rounded distal end, extending to the mesial edges. A possible low bulb of percussion is visible on the otherwise plain ventral surface. The white surface of the exposed flint is the result of deposition within alkaline soil. Length: 34.7mm; wi…

County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper of probable Bronze Age date (c. 2350 - 801 BC). The tool has been made from a tertiary flake and is of triangular cross section. The sub-triangular form has been achieved by a deliberate, angled truncation of the proximal end of the flake. Retouch is confined to the rounded distal end and is long, sub-parallel and abrupt. No ripples are visible on the ventral surface. The white surface of the exposed flint is indicative of deposition in alkaline soil. Length: 48.7mm; width: 42.5mm; thickness: 9.2mm. Weight: 16.01g.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake, probably dating from the Mid Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (c. 1600 BC - c. 401 BC). This irregular, tertiary flake has probable long, abrupt retouch at its distal end, possibly to create a crude scraper tool. Ripples are visible on the ventral surface, but the bulb of percussion is not. The white surface of the exposed flint is the result of deposition within alkaline soil. Length: 42.4mm; width: 41.3mm; thickness: 16.3mm. Weight: 28.4g.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper, probably dating from the Bronze Age (c. 2350 - 801 BC). The tool is on a tertiary flake and has a trapezoidal cross section. Its 'pear' shape has been achieved by retouch of the rounded distal end and by an angled truncation of the proximal. The remaining part of the core platform is actually at the distal end, where it is bordered by the long, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch. In addition to the lack of striking point and bulb, there are also no visible ripples on the ventral surface. The white surface of the exposed flint is indicative of deposition in alkaline s…

County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint side and end scraper, probably dating from the Neolithic to Bronze Age (c. 4000 BC - c. 801 BC). The scraper has been made from an irregular, secondary flake and has retouch at its distal end, extending to the mesial sides. This retouch is long, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt. A pronounced bulb of percussion and rippling can be seen on the ventral surface, adjacent to the striking platform. The white surface of the exposed flint is the result of deposition within alkaline soil. Length: 21.9mm; width: 25.6mm; thickness: 8.5mm. Weight: 4.48g.

A flint end scraper, probably dating from the Bronze Age (c. 2350 - 801 BC). The tool is on a tertiary flake, sub-rectangular in plan and of trapezoidal cross section. Retouch, confined to the rounded distal end, is short and abrupt. Part of the striking platform survives, with an adjacent striking point, bulb and diffuse ripples on the ventral surface. The left hand mesial side has a flat surface; this is either a deliberate truncation or else is from the corner of a cuboidal core. The white surface of the exposed flint is indicative of deposition in alkaline soil. Length: 35mm…

A flint side and end scraper of probable Mid Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (c. 1600 - 401 BC). The tool has been made from a secondary flake, is sub-rectangular in plan and of irregular cross section. The left-hand mesial side has long, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt retouch; this retouch continues to the rounded distal end, where it becomes abrupt. The flake has been struck from a natural nodule or little-worked core. A striking point and ripples are visible at the proximal end of the ventral surface. The white surface of the exposed flint indicates deposition within an alkaline soil…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint side and end scraper of probable Mid Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date (c. 1600 - 401 BC). The tool has been made from an elongated tertiary flake, which is of trapezoidal cross section, its irregular sides diverging towards the distal end. The clearest retouch is to the right-hand mesial edge and is long, sub-parallel and abrupt; the distal end also appears to have abrupt retouch, but unlike that to the mesial edge, this flaking cuts through the white surface patination and probably represents a later reworking. Part of the core platform remains, with an adjacent striking …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end and side scraper, probably dating from the Neolithic to Bronze Age (c. 4000 BC - c. 801 BC). The scraper, which is on a secondary, pear-shaped flake, is of sub-triangular section and has limited retouch to approximately half of its perimeter. This retouch is short to long, sub-parallel and abrupt. The ventral surface has an inward curvature, but no trace survives of the striking point. The white surface of the exposed flint is the result of deposition within alkaline soil. Length: 25.2mm; width: 25.4mm; thickness: 6.6mm. Weight: 4.69g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A struck flint flake of uncertain date. This secondary, pear-shaped flake has a pronounced bulb of percussion and several longitudinal arrises on the dorsal surface. The left-hand mesial edge has the appearance of having been ground; however, this may simply reflect the nature of the material at this point. The white surface is the result of deposition within alkaline soil. Length: 47mm; width: 39.8mm; thickness: 18.2mm. Weight: 34.4g.
