Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age transverse arrowhead. The artefact is a thin triangular tertiary flake made from medium grey flint with a region of lighter grey and occasional pebble cortex like inclusions. The flint has a medium gloss patina. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in form with one long edge being slightly more curved that its opposite number. The base of the arrowhead has been fractured leaving a clean linear break at the base of the arrow. The arrowhead has low angled scaled retouch on both the ventral and dorsal surface. On the dorsal surface thi…

An incomplete single piece of debitage possibly of later Mesolithic or Neolithic date, c. 6500-2400 BC with attempts at retouch on its dorsal surface. The surviving fragment is a a crescent shaped teritarty flake that is a trapezoidal in cross section. The flint is a glossy dark light flint with darker grey bands. The flint has lost a large portion of its surface through sharp vertical terminations. Nothing remains of the striking platform or bulb of percussion although shallow conchoidal ripples run down the length of the flake on the ventral face. At least three negative removal …

A retouched flint flake of possible Neolithic date, 4000-2350 BC that was possibly intended to be an arrowhead The flake is worked from a tertiary flake of very dark grey flint. The flake is trapezoidal in plan with a prominent slightly hooked point, and sub-oval in cross section. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have all been lost to later reworking of the flake. Both the ventral and dorsal surfaces have invasive, low angled retouch along at least three edges while the fourth appears to be damaged.

Neolithic knapped and retouched flint tertiary blade dating to c. 4000 - 2100 BC. The blade has a small platform and bulb of percussion at the proximal end and comes to a point at the distal end. There are very clear, almost v shaped, ripples of percussion across the lower half of the ventral face. Three are three earlier flake removals on the dorsal face indicate that similar blades were removed from the same core. On the ventral face there is significant short, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt retouch on the right side mesal edge creating notches with plain areas between. This deliberat…

Part of a probably Mesolithic flint blade, probably dating to the period c.9000-4000BC. It is a secondary piece with one small patch of pebble cortex surviving near its proximal end. The artefact is rectangular with a triangular cross section. The dorsal face has two negative blade scars from previous removal. One of the mesal edges have areas of chipping. There is a snap at the proximal end, thus removing the striking platform and bulb of percussion. The flint is a medium grey with areas of mottled white. The pebble cortex is a medium brown and orange colour. The lithic is 21.8mm …

A flint scraper that may have been re-used as a notched implement during the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date. The scraper is struck off a tertiary flake and retains no cortex. The scraper is sub-rectangular in plan. One long edge show clear parallel semi-abrupt retouch along the length of the dorsal surface there also two shallower chips on the ventral surface although these may be post-depositional. The remaining edges show more irregular chips taken out of the ventral and dorsal surface. On the opposite long edge these form a small notch which looks to have been delibe…
