Record ID: CPAT-FDFD48
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very small tool made on a flint flake. Triangular in cross section; the ventral surface is smooth, one face of the dorsal surface retaining a rough, dark cortex. Lack of a clear bulb of percussion makes identification of proximal/distal ends of the artefact very difficult. There are two or three very small areas of retouch visible, these appear on both surfaces. Greenish-grey in colour.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A rough flake of banded chert or flint of probable Neolithic origin. With no sign of a striking platform there is however, conchoidal scarring from re-touch along one edge and curving around part of one end (the left-hand edge in the right hand image in the photo). In the hand, this has the feel of a side scraper. The material is a banded pale cream/grey colour with some minor inclusion and ferrous staining.

Record ID: CPAT-7BDE04
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flake of dark/light grey banded chert that has perhaps been fashioned into a lithic implement. The convex end has conchoidal re-touch scars to one side, giving this flake a probable use as a scraper. In date this artefact is possibly Mesolithic. Other implements made from this type of material have been found in north Wales and it is suggested that they are of Mesolithic date.

A small flake of dark grey chert, with possible retouch on one edge (the left hand edge in the right hand image in the photo). Other implements made from this type of material have been found in north Wales and it is suggested that they are of Mesolithic date. Found in the same field as another possible worked piece - see CPAT-7BC400.

Record ID: CPAT-743DF4
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake/blade. The piece is roughly triagular in shape with a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface and two small areas of white and brown cortex on the dorsal surface. The flint is a mottled grey/brown colour with small white spots. It remains fairly sharp and appears not to have been extensively rolled since loss/deposition.

Record ID: CPAT-1FBBA6
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flake with a triangular cross section with possible crude retouch on part of one edge (just visible at bottom right of the right hand image in the photo). The material is a banded light/mid grey chert or flint. Other implements made from this type of material have been found in north Wales and it is suggested that they are of Mesolithic date.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small, irregular, pointed flake with possible crude retouch on one (concave-curved) edge (towards top left of the right hand image in the photo but not visible). The material is a mid brown chert or flint. Other implements made from this type of material have been found in north Wales and it is suggested that they are of Mesolithic date.

Record ID: CPAT-71BD32
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete blade or knife made on a flake. Both long, thin cutting edges show signs of retouch on the dorsal surface. The distal end still has a small area of buff-coloured cortex in situ, the proximal end has a clear bulb of percussion. The ventral surface is flat with conchoidal ripples down its length. The tool has a roughly triangular section. The flint is a mottled grey/brown colour. The tool is still quite sharp and appears not to have been extensively rolled since loss/deposition. It was recovered from a rabbit burrow or material excavated by rabbits on the Wat's Dyke Path.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fine, bifacially worked barbed and tanged arrowhead in perfect condition. Found with the tip sticking out of a peat layer eroded by the Offa's Dyke Path. Light grey flint, with slight trace of white cortex on one face at the base of the central tang. Fresh, crisp condition without patination/weathering suggests burial until recent exposure. Findspot on ridge could imply possible association with unrecognised feature/context such as a cairn.

Record ID: CPAT-757041
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Denbighshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This lithic fragment is a fine example of an arrowhead in the barbed and tanged tradition, probably of Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. The tip of the arrowhead is missing, as are the tangs. As with all bifacially worked tools, this arrowhead shows conchoidal fractures along the cutting sides and is worked with exceptional symmetry. The surface has a lustre from being abraded in the soil or perhaps a stream, over the centuries.

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cobble-sized irregular lump of flint with several areas of crushing suggestive of past use as a hammerstone. It also appears that at least one flake may have been struck from it. A roughly triangular area of whitish cortex survives on one surface, elsewhere the flint ranges in colour from cream to light green-grey to green-black. A chance find whilst metal detecting (Jeff Spencer, CPAT, January 2015).

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flint flake, mottled grey-green in colour, with an isolated area of retouch on the ventral surface partly removing the bulb of percussion and possibly to aid hafting by creating a tang. The forward edge is sharp and has been formed by removal of a single flake, the left hand edge is smooth and may have been polished. A possible transverse arrowhead.
