Record ID: PUBLIC-18E2F8
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very small flake with a snapped edge so could have been a larger flake or even a blade at one time. This snap is seen on the long edge. There is trim around each edge leading to this snapped edge - the trimmed edges are the short edges either side of the break. It is an edge trimmed flake.
The flint is a light grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.
Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig. 57, No. L109 which is dated to the Neolithic.

Record ID: PUBLIC-2B57D5
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Triangular shaped flint flake with the long edge on a flat area having been trimmed. This long edge is opposite a little cortex which acts as backing when using the edge trimmed flake. Probably the shape of the flake is natural but it has been utilised as a cutting tool after trimming one edge.
The flint is a medium grey colour with large speckles of light grey and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.
Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 127, fig 55, No. L94 which is dated to the Neolithic.
