Object type: GUNFLINT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval/modern gun-flint from a flintlock musket. The flint is rectangular in plan and cross-section with sloping edges to give it a trapezoidal side view. The flint is mid-grey in colour. The flintlock was introduced in the middle of the 16th century but it was not until the reign of William III that the flintlock became the main regulation firearm for the British Army. The knapped flint was used within the musket mechanism to produce a spark and would last between 20-25 shots before it had to be replaced, ' Clive Bond, 0.

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large retouched flint flake of probable Neolithic date. It is triangular in shape and is dark grey in colour and lightly patinated. A small amount of cortex remains on the distal end of the ventral face. The dorsal surface is more highly patinated and also has damage caused by a plough striking the face. The dorsal surface also shows evidence of the removal of flakes from this face in various directions, probably in an attempt to flatten the face. The ventral surface shows concoidal ripples extending down the surface from the pointed end where there is evidence of a point and bulb o…

A flint core dating to the Prehistoric period, (8300-800BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. On the dorsal face three parallel blades have been removed. A large bulb of percussion on the ventral face indicates that the object was struck with a hard hammer. At the proximal end the striking platform measures 18.22mm in width and is 6.33mm thick. The distal end is smooth and rounded. On the right hand side of the flint (looking at the dorsal face) is a short length of short semi-abrupt retouch. Towards the distal end and along the left hand e…
