Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three retouched flint flakes of probable Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date, c. 3,300-1,600BC. 1. A tertiary flake of opaque, slightly mottled, grey-brown flint, with the proximal end worked away, but with relatively diffuse conchoidal ripples present on the ventral face. Two prominent negative removal scars are present on the dorsal face, one narrow and blade-like, the other much broader, probably struck from two separate platforms, one at c. 30 degrees to the other. Short, scalar, low angle retouch is exhibited along the right edge of the dorsal face and left edge of the ven…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A single flake of flint debitage, of probable prehistoric date. A tertiary flake of translucent brown flint with bands of grey-beige inclusions. A relatively large bulb of percussion survives at the proximal end, with bulbar scar. Abrasion to the dorsal edge of the striking platform would suggest the use of platform preparation. The sub-parallel, negative removal scars on the dorsal face appear to have been struck from th same platform as the overall removal. There is a small patch of white patination at the distal point, suggesting possible reuse of older material. There is no retouc…

Object type: COIN HOARD

County: City of Plymouth
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An assemblage of 101 base metal Roman nummi all dating to between AD 319 and AD 337, with at least 93 coins dating to AD 318-324 (Reece Period 16). This latter group is of almost uniformly excellent condition, with several fused together into small groups and others retaining traces of a silver wash. There are some exceptions which are notably more worn or incomplete, in a small minority of cases probably due to over cleaning subsequent to finding. The mints represented within the group are exclusively western, with a clear bias towards London and in particular the BEAT TRANQLITAS issu…
