Record ID: DOR-7745FD
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint waste flake. A large secondary flake of relatively coarse, patchy dark grey and light grey nodule flint. The surfaces are patinated largely to a low gloss. There is a strip of abraded nodule cortex on the dorsal surface. At the proximal end is a small striking platform. On the ventral face is a distinct bulb of percusion with defined waves of percussion.On the dorsal face are several flaking scars, both elongate and broad ones ending in hinge fractures suggesting this is from the early stages of core preparation (the industry type is unclear). There is also an area of white pa…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broad flint blade. A flake of dark grey flint with white mottles and a low gloss patina. At the proximal end is a wide striking platform and there is a shallow bulb of percussion on the ventral face. There are marked waves of percussion along the whole of the ventral face. On the dorsal face there are several elongated flaking scars. The profile of the flake expands from triangular at the proximal end to trapezoidal at the distal. At the distal end the flake has a flattened edge as a consequence of the flake extending to the base of the core from which it was removed. There are seve…
