An abraded tertiary debitage / waste flake of probable later Neolithic date (4500-2000 BC). The flake is irregular in form being broadly triangular in shape. The upper (dorsal) face has the remains of removal scars. The edges are slightly denticulaed but this is most likely due to movement in the ploughzone (plough bumble). The flake is very thin being a mid grey colour. The flakes measures 17mm length, is 15mm wide and 2mm thick

An abraded tertiary debitage / waste flake of probable later Mesolithic date (6500-4500 BC). The flake has been abraded within the ploughzone resulting in an irregular shape. Originally it was rectangular in form with a distinctive bulbar scar on the ventral face and prepared platform on the distal end. The dorsal face has a central crested ridge. All other removals are modern and the blade has been rolled in the topsoil. The flint is a coarse grained mid- grey black colour consistent with locally utilised chert. The blade measures 20mm length, is 13mm wide.

An abraded tertiary debitage / waste flake of probable later Neolithic date (4500-2000 BC). The flake is irregular in form being broadly triangular in shape. The upper (dorsal) face has the remains of removal scars and it is possible that the edges have been crudely retouched to form a short lived cutting or scraping tool. The flake is very thin being a mid grey brown colour. The flakes measures 39.7mm length, is 25.7mm wide

An abraded tertiary debitage / waste flake of probable later Neolithic date or Early Bronze Age date (3500-1800 BC). From the form of the flake it is possible that this is an aborted barbed and tanged arrowhead discarded during knapping. A large pale grey coloured inclusion is present that would have prevented finer working. The flake is irregular in form having been struck as a blade like flake. One edge has been worked to create a pseudo-tang. The dorsal face is more heavily worked than the ventral although there is no evidence of retouch / finer working. The flint is a dark grey bl…

An abraded secondary debitage / waste flake of probable later Neolithic date or Early Bronze Age date (3500-1800 BC) which has been crudely retouched to form a scraper. The flake is broadly rectangular in plan and wedge shaped in cross section. The retouch has been applied to only the dorsal face on two edges and is best described as poorly organised short, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt. The flint is a brown black colour with a distinctive cream coloured cortex. It is likely that this secondary retouch is applied to utilise a waste flake and discarded shortly after creation. The f…

An irregular struck flake of Neolithic date (4000-2500 BC). The flake has been struck in multiple directions during the tertiary phase of the tool production most probably during the making of a large core tool - the flake shows multiple removals in opposing directions on the dorsal face. It is relatively thin and a mid grey colour. It is possible that it may have been worked along one edge to form a crude scraper The flake measures 28.1mm in length, 13.7mm width, is 6.6mm thick and weighs 2.89 grams.

A snapped flint waste flake (debitage) from tool production of probable earleir Neolithic date (4000 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly rectangular in plan and sub-triangular cross section. The flake has been snapped from a larger blade like flake and reworked along one edge on the dorsal face to create a crude cutting edge. It is highly likely that this flake was a by-product (or waste flake / debitage) of tool making; if this is the case then it is from the tertiary (3rd) phase of flaking as all the cortex has been removed. This waste flake has then been re-used or utilised to form a …

A snapped flint waste flake (debitage) from tool production of probable Neolithic date (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly in oval plan and sub-triangular cross section. The flake has been snapped from a larger blade like flake and reworked along one edge on both ventral and dorsal faces to create a crude cutting edge. It is highly likely that this flake was a by-product (or waste flake / debitage) of tool making; if this is the case then it is from the secondary phase of flaking as the dorsal face has around 50% of the cortex remaining. This waste flake has then been re-used or ut…

A complete tertiary debitage flake of probable Neolithic dating (4000 BC to 2350 BC). It has been struck from a prepared core, when reducing down a nodule to form a core tool. It is blade like in form. There is retouch to the ventral face along one edge (short, abrupt, parallel). Probably made for a specific task and then discarded. It measures 80.9 mm in length, a maximum width of 50.6 mm and is 9.2 mm thick. It weighs 36.0 g.

A fragment of tertiary flint waste / debitage or possibly a broken tool / lithic implement of Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). The artefact is formed on a broad flake with the majority of the knapped flakes being applied to the upper / dorsal face. The reverse / ventral shows a clear bulbar scar and conchoidal ripples emanating from a prepared platform. The dorsal has a series of long flake removal scars and both the long edges are retouched with irregular unorganised secondary working. The tip is snapped and the break is unpatinated. The flint is an unusual mid-reddish-brown colour wit…

Three (3) fragments of secondary flint waste / debitage of Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). All of the flakes are from secondary phase of working / flaking and are a direct result of preparation of flint tools. Most show clear signs of direct hard hammer knapping and the majority have been removed with minimal loss of flint from the nodule / core. The cortex is all mid grey white colour and the majority is chalk derived. All three pieces are an unusual mid-reddish-brown colour with a rich toffee like surface patina. This collection is from an assemblage of later Mesolithic and the Ea…

82 pieces / flakes of tertiary flint debitage of Neolithic date. All of the flakes within the group have been burnt in a fire - possibly suggesting this waste has been utilised as pot boilers. All have a white coloured patina which is crazed through heat cracking. None of edges have been reworked. They have a bulk weight of 190 grams The largest flake measures: 27.6mm length, 24.2mm width is 15.1mm thick and weighs 8.99 grams The Smallest flake measures: 10.6mm length, 11.4mm width is 2.4 thick and weighs 0.23 grams

30 pieces of tertiary flint debitage of Neolithic date. All of the flint within the group has had at least one edge retouched to form a crude scraper or cutting edge - in all cases the retouch is applied to the dorsal face and is short and abrupt often being scaled but unorganised in nature. Several pieces are clearly incomplete or broken larger artefact which have been repurposed / reused with some exhiniting multiple flaking on both dirsal and ventral faces suggesting they have been broken from larger core-like tools such as knives or scrapers. All pieces have been abraded in the p…
