Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of probable later prehistoric date, c. 3,300-800 BC. Worked from a primary flake of grey-brown flint, with cortex covering all of those areas not exhibiting retouch. Crude removals struck from the proximal end have thinned the flake, removing the bulb of percussion. Short, semi-abrupt, scalar retouch is exhibited around the perimeter of the dorsal face, with the exception of the proximal end. Dimensions: length 41.7mm; width 45.2mm; thickness 12.5mm; weight 30.26g. It is impossible to date a single undiagnostic flint with confidence, however the crude knappin…

A Flake of Prehistoric flint debitage, probably of later prehistoric date, c. 3,300-800 BC. A tertiary flake of mottled beige-brown flint exhibiting a pronounced, hinged bulb on percussion with bubar scar.

Three small blades of flint debitage, probably of Mesolithic or Neolithic date, c. 11,000-4,000BC. All are tertiary blades, with two incomplete, one missing the proximal end, the other the distal. Where they survive, the bulbs of percussion are diffuse, with evidence of abrasion at the proximal end suggesting platform preparation.

Two flakes of flint debitage, probably dating to the Neolithic to Early Bronze age, c. 4000-1,600BC, by association with other material found as part of the same assemblage. Both flakes are tertiary, representing two separate types of flint. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are retained on a single flake, where it is relatively pronounced and scarred. On the same flake, the negative removal scars on the dorsal face are irrgular in size and struck from a platform at roughly 45 degrees to the surviving platform. The second flake terminates in a hinge fracture, with only a si…

An Early Bronze Age flint barbed and tanged arrowhead, probably dating to c. 2,400-2,100BC. Bifacially worked teritiary flake of mottled grey-brown flint, worked into a triangular point with sub-rectangular tang, the arrowhead features no barbs. The retouch is exhibited around the perimeter of the arrowhead, sub-parallel and low angle generally, although becoming semi-abrupt towards the point of the arrowhead on the dorsal face. On the ventral face this retouch is short, whilst its extent on the dorsal face is uncertain, with it obscured by a large removal at the tanged end, which alm…
