Flint core. Highly worked, probably due to lack of naturally occurring flint in the area. Mostly long, linear, narrow flaking scars, with some slightly wider ones.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Tertiary greensand chert flake, of probable Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The flake is long and thick, with a sub-rectangular cross section at the proximal end and a sub-triangular section at the distal end. The ventral face is very slightly concave, whilst the dorsal face is notably convex. The flake has a narrow butt and a diffuse bulb on the ventral face, with very limited ripples, suggesting that a small, soft hammer was used. The dorsal face is covered with several long, thin flaking scars running longitudinally, suggesting that this is a rejuvenation flake from a blade core. The …

Small secondary greensand chert flake, probably dating from the Neolithic to early Bronze Age. The ventral face is convex at the proximal end, becoming concave towards the distal end. The flake has a fairly narrow butt and fairly diffuse bulb on the ventral face suggesting that a small, soft hammer was used. The dorsal face is highly convex and covered with small, long, thin flaking scars running longitudinally, suggesting that this is a rejuvenation flake from a blade core. There is a large flaking scar on the left-hand side of the dorsal face, just below the distal end, the majority …

County: Somerset

Small flint blade, made from a tertiary flake, probably dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic. It has a narrow, stepped, butt and diffuse bulb on the ventral face, suggesting that a small soft hammer was used. There are three long, thin flaking scars on the dorsal face tapering to a pointed tip at the distal end. The flint is milky grey in colour and a certain amount of repatination appears to have taken place. The edges are fairly sharp, but notched in places due to plough damage, etc. Length: 23.05mm, Width: 11.98mm, Thickness: 3.28mm Weight: 0.68g

Flint blade, made from a secondary flake, probably dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic. Both ends of the blade have snapped off and are missing. The remains of a diffuse bulb on the ventral face and discreet rippling suggest that a soft hammer was used. The dorsal face has three long flaking scars, but shows no evidence of further retouch. Two small patches of pebble cortex remain on the dorsal face. The flint is light grey in colour with patches of milky repatination. Length: 26.69mm, Width: 17.80mm, Thickness: 3.61mm Weight: 1.91g

Small flint blade, made from a tertiary flake, probably dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic. The dorsal face has two long thin flaking scars. There is possibly some very limited retouch along the left-hand edge of the dorsal face. However, this could equally represent later plough damage following deposition. Indeed, the blade is heavily plough damaged and either end has broken away, suggesting that it was originally longer. The flint is light grey in colour with milky repatination in places on both the dorsal and ventral faces. Length: 17.84mm, Width: 12.51mm, Thickness: 4.41m…

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint side and end scraper of probable late Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The scraper is formed on a tertiary flake of dark brown-grey flint, flecked with white in places. The flake is sub-retangular in form, but rounded at the distal end and is slightly curved in profile (when looking at it from the side). The ventral face is unworked, with a large butt and prominent ripple lines suggesting that a large, hard hammer was used. A small portion of the proximal end may have broken away following deposition, however, as the break there is fresh and sharp still. The dorsal face has a larg…

A scraper or knife of probable late Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The implement is sub-rectangular in form. The ventral face is smooth and unworked, apart from a few removals at the proximal end. The dorsal face has a long ridge running longitudinally, slightly to the right of the centre. On the right side of this a small amount of cortex remains, whilst to the left of this a large flake has been removed creating a sharp edge. Semi-abrupt, long, subparallel retouch can be seen on the edge of the proximal end and along the right edge of the dorsal face. The flint is mid grey-brown in co…

Snapped proximal end of a bladelet with retouch. Struck of a prepared platform with arises on the dorsal face from previous parallel removals. There is an area of short shallow retouch on the proximal end of the right edge on the dorsal face. It is 12.9mm long, 13.0mm wide and 2.8mm thick; it weighs 0.50 grams. It is made on translucent flint iron stained to a light-mid brown. This piece is Mesolithic in date although found in the same area as a larger group of Bronze Age material.

Distal end of a broken flint blade with cortex covering c.25% of the dorsal face flanked by scars from previous long removals. The right edge (from dorsal face) have been ground and deliberately blunted. The opposite edge has lost several chips on the ventral face, possibly from use. Fairly translucent mid brown flint, 25.0mm long, 16.7mm wide and 4.6mm thick and weighs 2.05 grams. It is probably Later Mesolithic or Early Neolithic in date.
