Record ID: GAT-D76797
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable prehistoric flint flake, possibly dating to the Neolithic period. The flake is a mixture of light and dark reddish browns in colour. There is evidence of the cortex along one edge. The flake is retouched, with apparent earlier blade/flake removals evident on the dorsal face. The bulb of percussion is visible, although it is difficult to identify any concentric waves along the ventral face which may indicate it is of natural origin. There is a small chip just below the bulb of percussion which suggests it is anthropogenic and as such this is probably a retouched flake (Shopl…

Record ID: GAT-64D580
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scatter of flints found in 1998. According to the finder they were found on the seaward side of a field wall near Ogof Llwyd, at Penrhyn, east of Aberdaron.
They comprise 10 small flakes and blades, some of which may have been formed by natural processes. The majority are broken and may be waste flakes left as the result of knapping. Due to the occurrences of cortex in relation to flake size, it is likely that the flakes are the result of working pebbles.

Flint blade/flake, truncated at each end and damaged by the effects of burning.
A small flake with a pronounced dorsal ridge (hence alternative identification of blade). It is difficult to confidently classify the type of object due to the damage it has suffered, and it is unclear whether all the flake removals currently visible are the result of human action or burning.
The flake has a chipped ventral face. The chip is close to the bulb of percussion and may be a result of burning. There may be fine retouch visible along the edges of the dorsal face, and flake removals can be c…

Record ID: GAT-DDCB03
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Primary flake from a probable beach pebble.
The flake does not appear to have been retouched to any great extent, but has been removed from a nodule of flint, probably a beach pebble. The bulb of percussion is clearly evident on the ventral face, the dorsal face is largely comprised of cortex.
It may be of Mesolithic date due to the context – it was found at Trwyn Du, Aberffraw, and another flint flake/blade was recovered at the same time.
