Tertiary chert waste flake. Mid grey-brown chert with white flecks. Matt patina. A small striking platform can be seen at the proximal end. and there are waves of percussion on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has three main elongate, longitudinal flaking scars indicating that it is the result of bladelet production. There is some edge damage along both sides where the darker colour of the underlying chert can be seen (this indicates that the damage is more recent). Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age.

A Thinning flake from a larger bifacial tool, possibly from a hand axe. Mid - late Neolithic, c. 2.900 - 2.500 BC. Length: 45.50 mm, width: 33.16 mm, thickness: 8.16 mm, weight: 14.84 g. In mottled black flint with semi-polished surfaces. There is edge damage along both the distal end and left leading edge, probably a result of plough damage. There are flake scars over dorsal surface that are fairly large and irregular. Possibly re-used as a side scraper.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A tertiary flint waste flake measuring 25.8mm by 22.83mm by 7.81mm and weighing 3.57g. The striking platform is visible at the proximal end, with the bulb of percussion, a pronounced bulbar scar and slight ripples on the ventral surface. There are several flaking scars on the dorsal side. The flint is dark grey-black with a mid gloss patina. This object may be a late Neolithic or early Bronze Age waste flake, but one of the flaking scars, which is steep and perfectly flat, may indicate that the flake was a by-product of gun flint manufacture in more recent times.

A plano-convex flint knife. In two pieces (glued together by the finder). Mid grey flint with white mottles. Mid gloss patina. Made from an elongate, tapering flake. At the proximal end is a wide striking platform and a bulb of percussion on the ventral face. There are clear, shallow waves of percussion along the length of the flake. The dorsal surface has been pressure flaked all over from both sides, producing regular, lateral flakes and a central raised spine. The distal end is shaped to a rounded point. Late Neolithic.

Object type: AXEHEAD

Workflow stage: Published
Fragment from the butt end of a knapped, ground and polished axe head of probable later Neolithic date (2900-2100 BC). The axe is knapped from a mid grey volcanic tuff. This rock type is formed from compressed volcanic ash that is found in Britain in a band that runs from the Lake District (the Langdale's source Group VI), through North Wales (Graig Lwyd Group VII), and into Cornwall and Devon (Groups XVI and IV respectively). Volcanic tuff is similar to flint in that it can be flaked, ground and polished. This fragment is irregular in plan and sub-oval in cross section. It measu…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
An early Neolithic leaf-shaped or ogival flint arrowhead. Mid grey flint with a lighter grey, low gloss patina. There is small, regular, pressure flaking on both sides. The flakes are lateral, producing a slight central spine. There is a trace of the bulb of percussion at the butt end. The arrowhead has a slightly squared butt end. The sides curve out and then become incurved along the tapering point. The tip of the arrowhead is slightly damaged.

Flaked flint axe in pale grey flint with coarse grained inclusions, negligible patination but with some spotty iron staining. Flaked overall and with all edges relatively sharp. The curved cutting edge and both lateral edges have a wavy profile from alternate flaking. There is no trace of polishing. In profile the axe is broadest about one third of its length from the cutting edge and thence curves slowly to a broad butt. Neolithic (c. 4000-1800BC)162 x 75 35mm.
