A complete flint combination tool, piercer/borer of probable Neolithic date (5400BP). The object has been manufactured on a large hard-hammer flake and is sub-spatulate in plan and bi-convex in section. This tool has abrupt retouch on the two lateral edges, converging to form a point with a thick triangular cross-section. The left lateral edge  hooks inward, much like a hollow scraper.  The dorsal surface is convex with three predominant negative scars and corresponding arises. The dorsal right hand edge has had multiple semi-abrupt retouch flakes removed. It tapers to f…

A Neolithic (c. 4000 B.C. – c. 2350 B.C.) combination tool, comprising a backed knife, scraper and a worked point. Manufactured on a secondary flake of un-patinated dark grey flint. The thicker, lateral edge on the dorsal face has the remains of the cortex and has been invasively retouched to blunt it to facilitate handling the tool. The opposing edge, used for cutting, has utilisation wear along its length. The proximal end has the bulb of percussion and has been modified to produce a worked point. Abrupt retouch around the distal end has resulted in a small end scraper. Overal…

A complete knapped flint flake, possibly and scraper, and burin of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date (3300 BC-1600 BC). Description: The object is broadly triangular in plan and  in cross-section.  It has a flat proximal end and a pointed distal end. The ventral face has a clear striking platform from which the object has been removed from the core, leaving in place a projecting pentagonal-sectioned point. The dorsal face has three long removals creating two longitudinal ridges. Some short removals have occurred on both sides wit…

Neolithic flint combination tool. Light bluish-grey opaque patina,but the retouched areas are mid-grey, indicating this blade was re-used in a later period to create a side-scraper and notch. The original blade is probably Mesolithic. The retouch along the right edge is inverse, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel and short. The notch on the right edge near the distal is struck on the dorsal face. Dorsal scars indicate unidirectional blade technology.
