County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A plunging blade of fine marbled grey and cream flint with sinuous oblique dorsal scars truncated by a blade scar in the same direction as the blade removal. The lateral margins are sharp and have been used with fine retouch on the concave left margin. Notches have been worked in the right margin with associated ventral use gloss. This is particularly intense and carries over onto the dorsal side of a denticule on the distal end of the right margin.Butler(2005) illustrates a notched flake on page 115, fig 46, 2.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A single platform bladelet core on a pebble of grey flint with opaque cream inclusions. The core has been worked on a thick flake to produce blades from a single abraded edge platform. some flakes have terminated short in hinge fractures. The ventral to lateral edge of the core has had slight re-use as a scraper. Butler(2005) illustrates bladelet cores on page 85, fig 30, 2-5.

Object type: MICROBURIN
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A group of 9 or 10 microburins from a 2 hectare field amongst a total of 850 worked flint fragments including waste and utilised pieces and tools. The flints have individual GPS records to a few metres accuracy which form a cluster extending beyond but centred in the field close to a brook at the edge of its flat alluvial plain and slightly above. The flints form a broad funnel to a crossing point and continue less frequently on the other side. There is no modern obvious preferential ford but fallen branches make natural bridges and a particular one may have begun a tradition and a pa…

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published
A microlith formed on a bladelet of grey brown flint. The left margin has been abruptly retouched and blunted along its length forming a point at the distal end. The right margin is unretouched and sharp with a small natural nick in the edge. It may have been hafted with the blunt edge set with resin into a groove in a wood or bone tool. Butler(2005) illustrates a small lanceolate piece on page 101, fig 39, 14.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Elongated piece of translucent light brown coloured flint with a cream inclusion. Te dorsal face exhibits a single medial ridge running from the proximal to distal edges. The distal edge terminates as a point, with both sides appearing to have been struck, to produce the point. The ventral face is smooth in appearance with no obvious indication of retouch around it edges. This piece could be described as a failed burin, piercer, or tanged tool. Very small but indeterminate tool.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Oval piece of flint which has been subject to intense heat, the dorsal face retains approximately 30% cortex covering which is reddish in colour, probably as a result of heat exposure. The flint itself is two tone grey in colour and exhibits faults and fractures throughout its surface. The cortex is smooth to the touch and typical of material associated with beach pebbles. The edges are ragged and uneven, no obvious indication of retouch along any edge although this could be hidden due to the damage caused by the exposure to intense heat. The ventral face is smooth in appearance a…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Oval piece of dark grey coloured flint with off white inclusions. The dorsal face exhibits several ridges with negative scars, distal edge appears rounded and may have been deliberately manufactured. The right margin is more blunt than the left and could be classed as having been backed, there does appear to be evidence of retouch but it is slight. The left margin is more shallow and sharp in appearance. The proximal edge has been broken implying this implement was much larger. The ventral face is smooth in appearance and texture, some conchoidal rippling present in the surface. Possi…

Ovoid shaped piece of dark grey coloured flint. The dorsal face protrudes higher from the face at the proximal end, sloping down toward the distal edge. The proximal edge appears broken and uneven, with the right margin curving gentle out toward the medial then back in terminating to a point at the distal edge. Possible serration marks on the edge of the margin, but these are very small and slight. The left margin appears to reflect the right margin in is convex appearance, although there doesn't appear to be any retouch marks along its length. The ventral face is divided between an u…

Elongated piece of translucent brown coloured flint with some speckling in the material. Dorsal face exhibits a single medial ridge running from the left side of the proximal edge to the terminating point at the distal edge. The proximal edge is shallow and flat in appearance, plan view shows it to be curved, with a very small profile, blade like in appearance. The right and left margins both curve in toward the terminating point of the distal edge, which could be looked upon as a tang or piercer point. The ventral face is relatively smooth with some conchoidal rippling present in the…

Elongated piece of light grey coloured flint, The upper part of the right margin appears to have been subject to light retouch, leading up to the distal edge which terminates as a sharp point. The proximal edge is uneven and rugged in appearance with the left margin appearing flat in places although the area around the medial is flat, possible strike point from a core ? This piece doesn't have an obvious dorsal and ventral face, appearing triangular in profile, definite retouch has occurred on one edge, possible use as a piercer, manufactured from a waste flake. Probable piercer.

Rectangular piece of translucent brown coloured flint. The dorsal face of the flint appears glossy and smooth to the touch. The proximal edge appears to have some trace of cortex material, not enough to identify the source. The right margin appears to have been subject to retouch, what appears to be micro denticulates appear along the length of the margin, which terminates at the distal edge which is straight and appears to have been broken or snapped off. The left margin is blade like in appearance but very small and brittle in appearance. The ventral face is smooth in appearance …
