Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
17 flint waste flakes of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. All the flakes show signs of having been struck but have not been further worked. Nine are secondary and eight are tertiary. Six flakes are broken and have lost their proximal ends, however, ripples on the ventral surface below the break suggest that they too have been struck. Total weight: 147g

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint notched piece of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The implement has been made from a tertiary flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform and below this on the ventral surface is the bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. Ripples radiate down the ventral surface. On the dorsal surface there are three main flaking scars and in the central of one lateral edge there is a retouched notch. The smaller notch adjacent may have been caused by natural damage. The milky light brownish-grey flint has a mid-gloss patina. Dimensions: 42.9mm by 22.2mm by 5.7mm Weight: 3.8g

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint hollow scraper of probable Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. It has been made from a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining on the dorsal surface) of dark greyish-brown flint. It is fresh and probably complete. Part of the bulb of percussion has been removed by retouch but the bulbar scar and clear ripples suggest the use of a hard hammer. One lateral side has been retouched to create a concave scraping edge. The retouch is short and abrupt. Dimensions: 36.3mm by 19mm by 7.1mm Weight: 4.9g

A cast copper alloy Post-Medieval mount. The mount has two circular, open loops, with a lobe at either end of the join. The outer sides of each circle have two lobes on their inner edge. To the reverse are two long, pointed attachment lugs. The mount is bent slightly out of shape. Its integral lugs and similarity to buckles of this period, suggest a c.17th century date.

Object type: SIDE SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper, produced on a long, tertiary flake. The dorsal face has four long, thin flaking scars. The ventral face has a prominent bulb, but the striking platform is missing due to retouch. The right edge of the ventral face has sporadic low angle, very short, subparallel retouch. The upper right edge of the dorsal face has semi-abrupt, short, scaled retouch. This continued around the ventral end, becoming more abrupt here. The lower left edge of the dorsal face also has semi-abrupt, short, scaled retouch. The proximal end of the dorsal face has been shaped to a point using low ang…

Produced on a tertiary flake. The object is roughly ovoid in form, bur with a pointed ventral end. The dorsal face has two primary removals either side of a central ridge. With a further long, thin removal along the right edge, and several crude, small ones along the left edge towards the proximal end. There is wide, semi-abrupt, long, parallel retouch along the curved distal end, interspersed with occasional patches of small, short, scaled removals. The flint is brown-grey in colour, with a milky patina in places and speckled with lighter patches. The object is probably of Neolithic t…

Side and end scraper, produced on a secondary flake. When viewed from the dorsal face, the object has a fairly straight left side with an outwards curving proximal end and right side. On the ventral face the platform is small and the bulb fairly prominent. The dorsal face has a ridge running its length towards the left side. To the left of this ridge, towards the distal end, is a small amount of semi-abrupt, invasive, stepped retouch, with some shorter, subparallel retouch at the very edge. There is further semi-abrupt, long, scaled retouch along the curved distal end reaching along th…

Cast copper alloy scale from the chin strap of a 19th century lancers cap. The scale is B shaped with three straight edges and a double convex curve on the fourth. Adjacent to the longer straight edge are three circular attachment holes, one in each corner and one in the centre. Between two of the holes is stamped a number 5. The half with the holes is tinned, the lower edge of the tinning is slightly irregular but follows the double curve of the other edge. It is 32.2mm wide, 21.2mm wide and 0.5mm thick; it weighs 2.28 grams. Usually the scales on the chin strap would overlap with …
