Record ID: SOM-F64FF2
Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete tertiary retouched flake of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The flake has a visible bulb of percussion on the ventral face which has been partially removed by the very large bulbar scar due to a flaw in the flint. The distal end has snapped, as has the proximal right corner. There is short scalar abrupt retouch at the proximal end of the left edge and along the remaining part of the right edge of the dorsal face. Towards the centre of the left edge the retouch becomes longer and semi-abrupt. The flint is light-mid grey in colour.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete chert flake which is snapped at the distal end, it shows evidence of being struck off a platform with a visible bulb of percussion at the proximal end. The flake has a translucent light orange colour. The flake steps outwards abruptly on the dorsal face due to a irregular break from a previous striking. Length:. 22.45 mm, Width:. 18.9mm, Thickness max:. 11.4mm, weight:. 5.1 grams.

Record ID: SOM-F60CE5
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete secondary scraper of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. There is snap at the distal end which has happened after it was worked into a tool. The scraper has a visible bulb of precussion and bulbar scar on the ventral face. The left hand side of the dorsal face has long scalar semi-abrupt removals, this continues round to proximal end becomming shorter towards the right edge. Cortex covers c.45 percent of the dorsal face. The flint is light grey-mid grey in colour.

Record ID: SOM-F5A5A2
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Broken fragment of an invasively retouched arrowhead dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (4500-1500 BC). The remaining piece is almost triangular due to breaks, about three fifths of the original outline survives. The point and part of the attachment end is lost, making it unclear what the original form was, possibly leaf shaped. Both the dorsal and ventral faces are covered by shallow invasive semi parallel pressure flaking. The arrowhead is made out of translucent light brown flint, some cortex is visible on the centre of one side.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A crudely worked flint scraper of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. Sub-rectangular scraper made of medium grey-brown flint which is mottled. A coarsely worked striking platform is visible, with a bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar on the ventral face. The right side of the ventral face has projections due to the inherent weaknesses within the flint. There is long semi-parallel abrupt retouch on the dorsal face at the distal end. The dorsal face shows evidence of previous flake removals from multiple directions.

A snapped fragment of a worked flint scraper of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. Part of the edge of a scraper made of a dark grey flint. No striking platform or bulb of percussion remain. The remaining complete edge has small scalar semi-parallel retouch along its length.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint single platform core, probably of Neolithic date. The flint is mottled and dark brown-grey in colour, with occasional lighter speckles in places and a glossy patina. Pebble cortex remains, covering a few of the surfaces. Four main large flaking scars are visible from the surving core. The broken top of the core appears to have been burnt, small fractures and hackled breaks are visible.

Record ID: SOM-327C26
Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flake which is possibly a retouched core fragment. There is no visible striking platform on the flake, on the ventral face there is a clear bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. There are long flake removals in both directions on the dorsal face, suggesting a Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The flake has been snapped before the distal end and has evidence of retouch along the right side of the dorsal face from the proximal end to the break. The retouch is short and scalar, which creates a projecting knotch c. 4.5mm suggesting the flake was being fashioned into a tool b…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic to Bronze Age flint scraper. The scraper is a fragment of a Neolithic polished axe head which has been broken and reused. There are numerous ripples visible on the ventral face, no striking platform or bulb of percussion is visible as the proximal end has a snap and it is probable the break was accidental. On the dorsal face there is clear evidence of retouch on the distal end and both sides. The right hand side of the dorsal face and the proximal end of the left hand side have abrupt, long scalar removals. The distal end of the left edge and the distal end have longer su…
