A group of 4 Prehistoric worked flint flakes , part of a larger assemblage of 43 peices of debitage, see also DEV-E95533, DEV-E7AD5A. Those flakes discussed here all exhibit some evidence of retouch. Flakes 1-3 are all from beach pebbles, similar to the rest of the assemblage. 1. A large secondary flake of pale grey flint with very frequent paler inclusions, dark flecks and a very large ferrous inclusion. Retaining cortex on c. 45% of its dorsal face, covering the majority of the right half of the face. The strking platform survives with a relatively diffuse, unscarred bulb of perc…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Six Prehistoric flint core or core fragments, part of a larger assemblage of 43 peices of debitage, see also (DEV-E7AD5A, DEV-E88F5F). All are of pebble flint. 1. Secondary core, with cortex covering c. 55% of the surface. Of a pale grey/white flint with some ferrous inclusions. The core has a single striking platform, with a number of neat, parallel removals struck from it, some of the later being very small and potential bladelets if intentional. Weight: 39.06g. 2. Secondary core fragment, of a very similar flint and with natural breaks at its rear and bottom. One surviving st…

A Late Neolithic to Bronze Age flint side scraper, probably dating to c. AD 3000-800. Made of a tertiary flake of translucent brown flint, sub-rectangualr in plan and sub-trapezoidal in cross section, with both the proximal and distal ends worked away. The proximal end has been blunted with some fairly irregular removals, struck from the ventral face. The left mesal edge and distal edge of the dorsal face have been blunted using short, abrupt, sub-parallel/scalar retouch, with the retouch to the right mesal edge being semi-abrupt and scalar/stepped, although this edge has been more hi…

A probable Late Neolithic to Bronze Age pebble flint core, probably dating to c. 3000-800 BC. Sub-rectangular in plan and broadly D-shaped in cross section, with cortex covering the entire convex face.

A probable Late Neolithic to Bronze Age pebble flint core, probably dating to c. 3000-800 BC. Sub-rectangular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section, with cortex covering much of the reverse. The core has a single striking platform, one side of which appears to have been lost to more recent damage. From this platform a number of sub-parallel blade-like flake removals have been struck with further removals struck at a perpendicular angle apparently using removal scars as a platform.

Two flint cores, one incomplete, of probable Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date, c. 3000-800 BC. DEV-667E4A and DEV-66439A are part of the same scatter. 1. A secondary core of a glassy black flint with little to no visible inclusions. A large amount of cortex remains on one face, c. 30% of the overall surface. The core has a single striking platform from which a number of irregularly sized but broadly sub-parallel flakes have been struck. The core has then been rotated to 7 o'clock and a removal scar used as the platform for a subsequent removal. The core has a broadly sub-rec…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three worked flint flakes of Prehistoric debitage, all secondary flakes of probable pebble flint, with one exhibiting evidence of retouch. The dating of such a small assemblage must remain highly tentative, however, the general crudeness of the knapping, as well as comparison to two cores found as part of the saem scatter (DEV-ED0824) may suggest a Neolithic to Bronze Age date, c. 3000-800 BC. DEV-667E4A is also part of this same scatter. 1. Secondary flake; brown flint mottled with plaer/white inclusions. c. 40% of distal end covered in cortex. 2 previous sub-parallel removals, bo…

An incomplete retouched Prehistoric flint flake, tentatively dated to the Neolothic-Bronze Age (see also: DEV-ED0824 and DEV-66439A, part of the same scatter), c. 3000-800 BC. Secondary flake; probably incomplete, with the left mesal edge lost to a natural break. Of a blue-grey pebble flint with cortex surviving on the proximal end, through which it was presumably struck, although the bulb of percussion has not survived; irregular damage to the proximal end truncated by the natural break probably relates to the point of percussion. Two shallow facets from previous removals on dors…

Tertiary flake; dark-grey/brown flint mottled with biege inclusions, the larger having a sandy texture. A striking platform partially survives at the proximal end with a diffuse bulb of percussion, there is an obliquely angled hinge approximately three quarters of the way down the length of the flake, in line with a large inclusion on the ventral face. Two sub-parallel blade-like flake removal scars survive on the dorsal face, one was …

Treasure case: 2017 T790, not Treasure, returned to finder Description: A Post-Medieval gold posy ring. The ring consists of a hoop with a D-shaped cross section and plain exterior. The interior of the hoop is inscribed in italic script: Lett thy love bee as mine to thee, followed by an unidentified maker's mark, probably an obliquely angled W within a sub-rectangular punch. Dimensions: The finger ring measures 23.3mm across the hoop, is 4.3mm wide and 2.2mm thick; it weighs 7.99g. Discussion: The length and style of inscription would both suggest a 17th-18th century da…

A quartzite beach cobble utilised as a grindstone, of probable Prehistoric date. The cobble is most likely from the Salcombe pebble beds, deriving ultimately from the permian river systems of Normandy. The cobble has an oval plan and cross section, but is truncated, forming a well-worn oval facet at one end, exhibiting some battering damage as well as one edge being slightly bevelled through use. It is otherwise unmodified with the exeption of further, far less pronounced, wear-related facets to either side of the cobble, as well as shallow depressions at the centre of each face. All …

County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small Neolithic flint axehead roughout, probably dating to c. 4000-2400 BC. The axehead is crudely knapped, and shows indications of being reworked from a larger, polished axhead. The axehead is of a heavily patinated grey/white flint, containing frequent buff inclusions and with several areas of iron staining on its surface. The axehead is bifacially worked, with verry large, irregular and often hinged struck from the edges of the tool to create a broadly sub-rectangular plan, expanding from a squarred butt, 29.1mm wide, to its widest point at roughly the mid-point, 50.2mm, and fro…

A Late Neolithic flint oblique arrowhead, dating to 3300-2400 BC. Worked from a sub-triangular tertiary flake tapering to a point at the proximal end, and although with no true barb, the distal edge is obliquely angled and the left edge of the dorsal face is slightly convex, the left distal corner being lost to a natural break. There is invasive, scalar retouch to the right and distal edges of the dorsal face, with the right edge being semi-abrupt and the distal edge being low-angle. The right edge of the ventral face has short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch, with long, scalar, lo…

An incomplete Medieval copper alloy swivel, probably dating to c. AD 1100-1500. The item comprises of a single loop, sub-circular and broken at the apex, with either arm tapering into a worn, patinated point. The loop has a sub-circular cross section, with two sets of two gnarled, bulbous ridges flanking a flat oval base with a circular perforation. By comparison to other examples these are most likely highly debased zoomorphic animal heads, grasping the base in their jaws. The base has a large circular perforation.
