Object type: DENTICULATE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible flint denticulate of uncertain date, probably Late Bronze to early Iron age date, but a late mesolithic or early Paleothic date cannot be discounted. Description: The denticulate is an irregularly quadrilateral in plan with a wider lower face and slopping sides creating a 'pillow shape'. The tool is formed from a natural flake or accidental removal. It has blunted sides formed by invasive scaled abrupt retouch down one side and then irregular blunting on the other. The distal end has a limited denticulate retouch along it. The flint is very dark grey mottled to black. Th…

Object type: BORER
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint borer of uncertain date likely Mesolithic to early-Bronze Age (c. 9000 - 1000 BC), Description: The borer is roughly L-shape in plan, formed from a secondary flake, the upper arm of the L-shape is formed from short scaled semi-abrupt well formed retouch. There is retouch around the bottom corner up to a crescent indent on the outside of the upper arm. The bottom right corner of the base is covered in light brown cortex. The flint is dark grey-brown with some patches of light grey at the tip of the borer. Measurements: 35.56mm long, ​29.58mm wide, 6.56mm thick and 4.3…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper likely of mesolithic to early Neolithic date (c.9000 - 3300 BC), utilising an earlier flake. Description: The scraper is sub-triangular in shape with a wider outter slighlty concave edge, an inner convex edge and a wide body. It is formed from a tertiary flake. There is retouch along the convex edge bifacially worked formed by short very regular scaled semi-abrupt removals. The short edge has some less regular short retouch creating a bit of a longer boring point. There is some more invasive retouch along the outer edge.The bulb of percussion is fairly subtle althou…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper likely of Bronze age date (c. 2200 - 800 BC), utilising an earlier flake. Description: The scraper is sub-triangular (almost teardrop) in shape with a wider outer slightly convex edge, an inner concave edge and a wide body. It is formed from a secondary flake with some cortex remaining on the outer edge. There is retouch along the convex edge formed of short very regular scaled semi-abrupt removals. This retouch goes through flint that has begun to recorticate indicating this retouch occured a substantial amount of time after the production of the flake. The short e…

A flint scraper likely of Bronze age date (c. 2200 - 800 BC), utilising an earlier flake. Description: The scraper is sub-rectangular in shape with one slightly wider corner. It is formed from a secondary flake with some cortex remaining at the distal end. There is a retouch along the right hand edge formed of short very irregular scaled semi-abrupt removals. This retouch goes through flint that is begining to recorticate indicating this retouch occured a substantial amount of time after the production of the flake.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near complete flint scraper likely Neolithic-Early Bronze age date (c. 4000 BC - 1000 BC). Description: The scraper is sub triangular in shape and formed from a tertiary flake. There is extensive short scaled semi-abrupt to abrupt retouch along the mesal (sides), which comes in from both the ventral and dorsal facings to create a very slightly curved point. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are very irregular and has been extensively, heavily struck and reshaped removing much of the bulb etc. The bulb of percussion and the conchoidal fractures are very pronounced which…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular copper-alloy probable cast finger-ring, likely Bronze Age/Iron Age or Early-medieval in date. Discussion: The ring is roughly D-shaped in plan with a much thinner flatter edge flatter. The band varies in cross section from circular to D-shaped. The ring is heavily patinated and pitted. Measurements:27.27mm wide, 23.97mm high, 4.18mm thick and 6.77g in weight. Discussion: Plain finger-rings are very difficult to date, the very crude nature of this example would suggested a Bronze Age to Early-Medieval date, although with no decoration and crude production makes an…
