Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper formed on a large blade of opaque black flint of uncertain date, 9000 BC - 1000 BC or perhaps, a blank for producing Post Medieval gun flints dating from AD 1600 - 1900. It is a tertiary hard hammer blade with a double dorsal ridge. All four edges are retouched with short, abrupt, scaled removals forming a rectangular scraper. Measurements are; length 61.7mm, width 41.1mm, thickness 10.7mm and weight 33.46g. The form is similar to Post Medieval gunflints, but much larger. It could be a blank ready to be snapped into smaller pieces to make several gunflints. Compare&nbs…

A flint core of probable Neolithic date 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is a patinated tertiary chunk which is piriform in plan and D shaped in cross-section. It is an irregular core with two striking platforms at right angles to each other. One is at the pointed distal end. The other is the flat ventral face from which the removals forming the rounded proximal end have been worked. The core produced flakes. There is later damage on the ventral face where accidental removals have revealed an iron rich orange colour under the patinated white surface. The core is 58.3mm long, 47.4mm wide…
