Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic to Bronze age flint lithic implement (c. 3000 - 1600 BC). The implement is triangular in shape and has been struck off a tertiary flake as it retains no cortex. The dorsal face has three parallel negative flake scars, with short parallel semi abrupt retouch running along one mesal edge. While the opposite mesal edge has short sub-parallel semi abrupt retouch running from the proximal end to the distal end. The ventral face has further evidence of short sub-parallel retouch along one mesal edge. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are missing due to old breaks. …

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age lithic implement dating to the period c. 3000 - 1600 BC. It is sub-triangular in shape, and has been struck off a tertiary flake as it retains no cortex. The dorsal and ventral faces exhibit covering sub-parallel low angle retouch. One of the mesal edges exhibits short parallel low angle retouch. It is possible that the object may have been intended as an arrowhead, but has been discarded before being finished. The flint is a semi-translucent dark grey colour. It is 28.24mm in length, with a width at the base of 19.43mm which tapers to a…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (c. 2700 BC - c.1600 BC). The arrowhead is bifacially worked and sub-triangular in plan with flat sides. There are two round ended notches in the base, flanking the central square tang. The tang terminates in an old break. One barb is square. The other barb is missing doe to an old break and would have been substantially smaller due to a mistake during manufacture. The arrowhead has been bifacially worked and exhibits covering semi-abrupt retouch down both edges and across the point on both sides,…
