A small struck flint scraper of Later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2900 - 1800 BC). The scraper is sub circular in plan and semi circular in cross section. The dorsal (upper) face demonstrates a significant number of flake scars, indicating that this piece has been heavily worked / reworked. The ventral surface is smooth with the remains of the bulb of percussion and a few conchoidal ripples. The edges have been damaged by movement in the soil and there are a series of irregular uncontrolled flake scares. The scraper measures 19.75mm length, 17.79mm width, 5.57mm thick and weig…

Two struck debitage / waste flakes of mid brown coloured flint that have been retouched to form irregular multi sided scrapers, probably of later Neolithic date (2500 to 2000 BC). One flake is roughly rectangular in plan and demonstrates small facets along the edges of the dorsal (upper) face. This probable scraper has been manufactured from a secondary debitage flake, as there is a small amount (less than 25% of surface area) of cortex (outer rind) present . The dorsal (upper) surface demonstrates a series of flint flake facets in various directions. The ventral (lower) surfce demons…

The arrowhead is approximately 95% complete, missing a small semi circular flake from one side. The arrowhead is leaf shaped in plan, consisting of a pointed oval shape with a semi circular base. It has been made from a piece of secondary debitage as a small amount of cortex (outer rind) is still present on dorsal (upper) face. Both dorsal and ventral (lower) face exhibit a large amount of controlled flaking, with retouch present along the edges. It measures 36.51 mm in l…

A complete Post Medieval gunflint with lead casing from a flintlock gun. The flint is square in plan and is enclosed on both faces and one side by a sub-rectangular folded lead holder. The three visible edges of the flint show signs of working, both controlled and uncontrolled fractures, the other edge is obscured. The edges of the lead are rounded and there is a small hole present in the folded side of the lead holder. This hole was presumably part of the mounting mechanism. A hairline crack is present along the fold. The gunflint measures 22.60mm long, 24.24mm wide and …
