A small flint scraper dateable only to the Neolithic-Bronze Age. It is approximately D-shaped with the striking platform clearly visible. the distal end has invasive retouch which continues down one lateral edge. the bulb of percussion and bulbal scar are visible on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface is concave and thins towards the proximal end. It is possible that the scraper would have been hafted on to a wooden hande at this point. The scraper is 27.14mm long, 33.90mm wide, 8.97mm thick and weighs 10.48g.

An incomplete worked flint implement, possibly originally part of a small leaf-shaped arrowhead of Early or Middle Neolithic date. The fragment is small, measuring 20.94mm long, 16.09mm wide and 3.45mm thick. It weighs 1.33g. It has broken just below the waist on one side and above the waist on the other, but enough of the shape remains to suggest it may have been a leaf-shaped arrowhead. Invasive retouch through pressure flaking covers the whole of both sides. The flint is amber in colour.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broken flint blade dating from the Neolithic period. The dorsal surface has four arises and the ventral surface does not have a bulb of percussion. The blade appears to have been broken in antiquity as an even greyish white patina covers all surfaces. One long and one short edge appear to have been very finely retouched. The blade is 41.70mm long, although this is short of the original length, 20.25mm wide, 4.19mm thick and weighs 3.90g.

Two small Neolithic-Bronze Age waste flint flakes. One resembles a blade fragment and the other a thin scraper or notched flake, although there is no conclusive evidence to suggest they were ever used as such. The blade-like flake measures 27.98mm long, 14.11mm wide, 4.96mm thick and weighs 1.96g. The scraper-like flake measures 28.48mm long, 22.20mm wide, 2.91mm thick and weighs 2.40g.

A small Neolithic-Bronze Age notched flint flake, probably used for stripping bark from poles etc. It is approximately square in shape with a notch removed from one corner. The ventral surface has a distinct bulb of percussion. The dorsal surface appears to have been re-worked to produce a thumb shaped depression for better grip in the corner opposite the notch. The flake measures 26.43mm long, 23.98mm wide, 5.32mm thick and weighs 3.40g.

A probable flint scraper only datable to between 3500-800 BC (Neolithic-Bronze Age). It is hemispherical in shape with a clean vertical break along the flat edge and slight evidence for retouch along the curved edge. The upper surface is a largely natural frost shattered surface with a small amount of human flaking to reduce the size slightly. The lower surface has a large bulb of pertussion with a small amount of cortex remaining at the striking platform. It measures 43.25 x 30.09 x 11.49mm (15.43g).

A selection of 7 flint objects found at Ham Hill, Somerset in 1950. One is probably a late Neolithic chisel arrowhead (62.17mm long, 35.26mm wide, and 14.56mm thick, 26.67g. Another is probably an early Neolithic notched flake (36.82mm x 18.56mm x 4.50mm thick and 2.66g). Another three are early neolithic serrated blades (37.86 x 19.48 x 5.81mm, 4.91g; 29.64 x 26.95 x 7.21mm thick, 3.44g; 32.44 x 14.13 x 3.42mm thick, 1.56g). Two more objects are either a waste flake (32.63 x 23.12 x 8.52mm thick, 6.51g) or a core (55.77 x 27.68 x 10.40mm thick, 14.33g) without evidence for retouch.
