A complete Neolithic endscraper dating to c. 4000-2400 BC. The end scraper is made from a tertiary flake of flint that is a matte light brown sometimes semi-glossy medium brown semi-translucent flint. It is broadly recyangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross section the ventral surface being wider than the dorsal surface. It has at least three earlier flake removal scars on the dorsal surface struck in the same direction as the scraper. Its distal end has medium length, semi-abrupt, parallel retouch across its length. No retouch exists on the ventral surface altho…

A piece of Neolithic debitage, possibly indicating blade production dating to, c. 4000-2400 BC. The object is worked from a tertiary flake of light grey flint with occasional medium grey patches. The flake is sub-triangular in plan and sub-triangular to trapezoidal in cross section.  At least four negative removal scars are present on the dorsal face, some running in a linear fashion parallel to each other. The ventral face is almost perfectly flat. The longest side of the triangle has possible retouch, suggesting it may have been used as a scraping …

A flint tool, taking the form of a serrated blade, probably dating from the Late Mesolithic to the Neolithic period, c. 7000-2351 BC. The blade is made from a tertiary flake of mid grey flint with a band of darker grey cutting diagonally through it. It is an elongated leaf shape in plan, and is slightly concave on one side and convex on the other. The dorsal face has a ridge running lengthwise slightly off centre. The flake is 36.16mm long, 16.58mm wide, and 0.75mm thick. It weighs 3.86 grams.

A triangular flint tool, probably a burin, borer or arrowhead dating from the late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, c. 2700-1500 BC. The tool is made made from a tertiary flake of light gray flint with a glossy patina.The flint is leaf shaped, with a sharp tapered point that widens to a more rounded blunt opposite end. It is a long oval shape in cross section.  There is a short, stepped, abrupt retouch around the point. There is a small striking platform and ripple marks running up from this and the dorsal face has a central ridge runnin…

An incomplete flint arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age c.2500-1500 cal BC. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake of flint. It has a slightly glossy surface and is predominantly a transluscent, light brown with a single grey inclusion. The arrowhead has a clean break across the base and the tip is also missing.. The surface is covered in scaled retouch. The arrowhead is 18.5mm long. It is 10.5mm wide (at the break) and 3mm thick and it weighs 0.49 grams. The damage to the arrowhead makes it difficult to type using Gre…

An incomplete flint barbed-and-tanged arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age c.2500-1500 cal BC. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake of flint. It has a slightly glossy surface and is predominantly white with grey inclusions and orange flecks. The arrowhead is missing the tip of one of its barbs, and the tip of the tang. The breaks expose the darker grey material inside the arrowhead which is surrounded by the white surface layer suggesting that they occurred more recently. Each surface is covered in scaled retouch.
