Object type: FLINT IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint notched flake of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date. Secondary flake - a small amount of cortex remains at the distal end. To the left of the dorsal face are three long, thin flaking scars, with a broader scar to the right. On the right edge (when viewed from the dorsal face) a small notch appears to have been deliberately manufactured. Produced using a fairly hard hammer. Dark grey flint with lighter patches and a slightly milky patina. Because of the crude and simple nature of the object it is difficult to date it more precisely than the range proposed above. Lengt…

Flint implement (possibly a borer) of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date with signs of reuse. A secondary flake, with cortex along one edge. The flake itself appears to be earlier in date - the flint is translucent brown in colour with a patchy milky patina. However, at some point it appears to have been subject to high temperatures as there are signs of crazing on both faces and heat cracking along patches of one edge. This cracking appears to have removed the patination where it has occured. The right edge of the dorsal face then appears to have been reworked in places. Small smoun…

8 flint implements of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date. All have only small amounts of retouch and have therefore been grouped together as either very crude scrapers or general multi-purpose non-formal tools. As such it is difficult to date them more closely than this. However, most seem to have been produced on large, unpatinated, crudely produced flakes, which based on the judgments made about the assemblage made below would suggest that most probably date from the later end of this period. 1. Length: 24.31mm, Width: 15.69mm, Thickness: 5.80mm, Weight: 1.88g Secondary…

Five flint flakes. These are probably waste flakes, but have been seperated from the debitage in the assemblage as they may possibly be fragments of worked flakes or non-formal tools. All could be of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date. 1. Length: 19.22mm, Width: 15.26mm, Thickness: 2.46mm, Weight: 0.93g Secondary flake - a tiny amount of cortex remains on the dorsal face. Trapezoidal in shape. A few small amount of invasive, scaled retouch at the right side of the distal end on the dorsal face has created a slight point, which appears to be deliberate. However, the outer …
