A short thick flake of grey brown flint with dull cream inclusions . The dorsal surface has wavy flake scars. The flint may have been heated as the small groups of fine retouch on the margins have a lustrous appearance.Butler(2005) describes utilised and retouched flakes or blades on page 134.

A hard hammer struck fragment of dark grey flint with cream flecks. The piece is nearly shattered with cracks from other hard hammer strikes. Perhaps a pebble was broken up if not a core. An available straight sharp margin has been semi-abruptly retouched .Butler(2005) illustrates a cutting flake on page 186, fig 76, 9.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper, oblong in plan and plano convex in profile. The dorsal side surface has flake removals with both distal and proximal ends spalled. On the ventral side the distal and proximal edges are fractured and there is invasive flake removal. There is some retouch on the proximal edge. The flint is pale grey in tones. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 154, Fig. 5.138, No. 13 which is dated to the Bronze Age.

Pottery body sherd of fine granitic ware made of admixture clay with inclusions of granite and mica. The fabric is a mid-brown colour on the interior and a dark brown to black colour on the exterior of the sherd. This type of admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Quinnell, forthcoming).

Pottery base sherd of coarse granitic ware made of admixture clay with large inclusions of quartz and granite. The fabric is a mid-brown colour throughout and there is a fracture running diagonally through the exterior of the sherd, where an oval section has spalled out of the sherd, which adds to its fragility. This type of admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Quinnell, forthcoming).

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pottery body sherd made of a coarse fabric with an uneven exterior surface that has several depressions caused by the erosion of large inclusions out of the matrix or perhaps seed impressions. The fabric has fine inclusions of pale felspars and mica with some larger inclusions of quartz added in. The exterior of the sherd is a mid-brown and in the interior more orangey-brown. This type of admixture fabric is found in Bronze Age vessels dating from c.2100 -1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

Flint scraper, leaf shaped in plan and almond shaped in profile. The dorsal side surface has mesial ridging with cortex on the left side and flake removal on the right. The right margin is serrated. The ventral side has a convex surface with a small chip on the distal tip. The flint is possibly from Beer Head and is dark brown in tone with a high lustre. The secondary cortex is dark beige in colour. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 154, Fig. 5.138, No. 1 which is dated to the Bronze Age period.
