Flint awl, elongated ovoid in plan and plano convex in profile. On the dorsal side the distal tip is retouched and the proximal end cortex. The left margin is fine serration and the right margin is a combination of cortex and retouched edge. On the ventral side the right margin has low angle retouch. The distal end is retouched and there is retouch scarring on the left margin. The flint is dark grey brown and the secondary cortex is grey and fawn in colouring. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 135, Fig. 59, No. L. 155 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Flint pebble scraper, elongated ovoid in plan and almond shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the distal edge is retouched and the surface has had large flake removal. The proximal end is abraded. The left margin is fractured and snapped. The ventral side appears to be the smooth side of a pebble. The flint is putty coloured with a tertiary cortex.

Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The exterior and interior of the sherd have depressions which may have been caused by the erosion of larger inclusions from the matrix rather than being deliberate impressions. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars and dark augite and is orangey-brown on the exterior and mid-brown on the interior of the sherd. This type of fabric is seen in Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Pottery body sherd made of smooth grogged (containing crushed clay) Grooved Ware fabric. The fabric looks polished and baked and it is hard to see any inclusions. It appears to be blackened on the interior of the sherd and a buff colour on the exterior. There are also depressions on the exterior of the sherd which may have resulted from the erosion of inclusions out of the matrix. This type of fabric is most probably Grooved Ware, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Pottery body sherd made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. There are two parallel horizontal grooves on either side of a wider band between them that is running through the middle of the sherd. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is mid-brown on the exterior and dark brown on the interior of the sherd. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric looks the same as that of the other two sherds in the image, 523.3 and 523.4, so they may have come from the same vessel.
