One (1) bodysherd of an undiagnostic glass vessel form, of post Medieval dating (16th to 18th Centuries AD). The sherd is 8.37mm thick and weighs 7.5 grams. It is 38.74mm wide and 21.55mm deep. The sherd was originally a pale green translucent colour. However it has been severely abraded during time in the plough soil, and is covered with an opaque pearlescent patina. It is not possible to determine the original form of the vessel. The sherd has been photographed.

County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two incomplete knapped flint blades of Late Mesolithic dating (6500 BC - 4500 BC). The first blade is sub-rectangular in plan, and triangular in cross section and is complete. It consists of a secondary debitage flake, as a small amount of cortex (outer rind) is present on the upper (dorsal) surface. A central ridge runs the length of the upper (dorsal) surface. There are two areas of deliberate (controlled) retouch, along the top of the blade and down the exterior edge at the top of the blade. The lower (ventral) surface is smooth, and does not exhibit any evidence of working s…

Two (2) secondary debitage flakes and seven (7) tertiary debitage flakes, probably dating from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age (2900 BC - 1800 BC). The flakes vary in size and are all irregular in plan and profile. There is no evidence of reworking or secondary flaking present. They are the residue left over from tool production and direct evidence of flint working either on the site or in the locality. All the flakes demonstrate signs of abrasion, with uncontrolled flint scars present, from plough roll whilst in the plough soil. The secondary debitage flakes to…
