Object type: WORKED STONE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
One of three rather undiagnostic chunks of chert found at the same time, this largest example may be part of a Mesolithic core. This piece appears to bear ridges from the removal of flakes, and was originally likely to have been part of a larger flake or core itself. There appear to be signs of retouch along one edge.

An undiagnostic chunk of chert, similar to those found to the east of Dinas promontory fort, at Porth Ruffydd (GAT-DDAA05). It is a possible worked piece, but it is not possible to classify the type of object. It may be of Mesolithic date due to the Trwyn Du findspot and the associated finds recovered at the same time (GAT-DDCB03 and GAT-DDD7D6).

Perforated stone spindle whorl or net weight of unknown date – probably Mesolithic – Modern (6500 BC – 1800 AD). The stone used to make the artefact is a micaceous sandstone which is a mid brown grey colour. The weight is irregular being broadly sub-circular in plan and D shaped in cross section. The central hole is drilled from both ends, is broadly circular in shaped and waisted (egg-timer) in cross section. The maximum diameter of the hole measures 8.4mm.

A collection of field walked finds from the Sykehouse area of Doncaster has been recorded under individual records which are all linked to this one. These finds should be considered alongside the results of an excavation that was done in Sykehouse in 2002 by Archaeological Services WYAS and which are published in "Excavations at Topham Farm, Sykehouse, South Yorkshire: A Late Iron Age and Romano-British Settlement in the Humberhead Levels" by Ian Roberts, published in 2003 by Archaeological Services WYAS. The fieldwalking finds and the data from the excavation are significant because …

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Chisel shaped arrowhead with tranchet sharpened end. Arrowheads of this type were popular in both the Late Mesolithic and Late Neolithic but given the other material in the assemblage the former date appears most likely. Formed on a large flake with the bulb of percussion removed. The ventral face is plain apart from some chipping and some shallow long scalar retouch at the hafting end of the left edge. On the dorsal face the left and right edges both have long abrupt scalar retouch along their length becoming invasive at the hafting end. The blade end has been sharpened with a large …
