Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two retouched flakes of a dark grey flint, both of which retain their original white-buff cortex over the distal end. They are both sub-rectangular in shape with numerous flake scars across the two dorsal faces. The larger of the two shows a natural break on the right dorsal margin, where the flint has sheered off forming an almost straight edge, there is an area of long scalar semi-abrupt retouch adjacent to the break, possibly an attaempt to create a notch that was abandoned. The smaller of the two has a distinctive grey spot of patina in the centre of its ventral face and short, sc…

County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probably incomplete leaf shaped arrow head of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The flake is bifacially worked with slightly convex faces. It is transversally broken at the top (distal end) with an old patnated break. It is also broken at the bottom, slightly on one side, with a large inwards break on the other, these breaks are only partially patinated, sugesting they are more recent damage. The flake has an invasive parallel shallow retouch on both sides along both edges apart from the right edge near the proximal end on the ventral face. The flint has a white/pale grey patina. It me…

A chip from a Mesolithic to Neolithic flint core dating to the period c. 8000 -2350 BC. The remaining piece retains no cortex, and is irregular in shape with a convex ventral surface formed of a very large percussion bulb. The core had two striking platforms roughly at right angles to each other, and at least three negative flake scars from previous flake removals, the size and shape of which suggests that this core was used for the production of blades or bladelets. The flint itself is dark grey with light grey and off-white inclusions. It is 25.00mm in length, with a maximum wid…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
Knapped flint arrowhead, probably a lead-shaped example dating from the Early Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (4000-1000 BC). The flint is light grey on the upper part, darker towards the lower end. One edge is broken along almost the entire side, from just below the top point. A straight break across the base has removed the end. The remaining edge is unusual as it is concave below the widest point but this may be due to later chips as chipping has created a more adbrupt edge here than on the rest of the arrowhead. Both faces have been worked with shallow, invasive sub-parallel retouch…
