A small flint bladelet core of later Neolithic date struck from a mottled grey flint. The core is conical with a single striking platforms which is poorly prepared or defined and a bulbar scar is evident on this platform where the core was removed as a thick flake from its original nodule. A patch of cortex is retained on one side.

Pale grey flint core. A small irregular chunk with scars from multangular flake removal. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest its incorporation in gravel. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Height: 31.4mm, Width: 34mm, Thickness: 22.2mm, Weight: 24.21gms

Flint pebble with cortex, core. A chunk with broad parallel flakes detached by unidirectional working from a flat striking platform. A dense creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest its incorporation in gravel.

A flint core of probable Neolithic date 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is a patinated tertiary chunk which is piriform in plan and D shaped in cross-section. It is an irregular core with two striking platforms at right angles to each other. One is at the pointed distal end. The other is the flat ventral face from which the removals forming the rounded proximal end have been worked. The core produced flakes. There is later damage on the ventral face where accidental removals have revealed an iron rich orange colour under the patinated white surface. The core is 58.3mm long, 47.4mm wide…

A small flint fragment of a tabular core of mesolithic or possibly later date, used to produce fine bladelets. The fragment is irregular but broadly triangular in shape; one side has parallel removal scars but there is no evidence for preparation of a striking platform, this has probably been lost to later breakage along one long edge where there are several areas of weakness from fossil inclusions. The other long edge retains a pale buff coloured cortex.

A fragment of a flint core of the Mesolithic/early Neolithic period dating to 10,000-3,500 BC. It has a conical shape and has been manufactured from a dark grey flint; it has one oval striking platform from which run long, narrow and parallel blade removal scars down the observe face. The reverse face has a bulb of percussion, hence the item is a fragment of a larger original core. No cortex is retained. Height: 43.70mm Width at widest part or striking platform: 23.31mm Max diameter: 56.26mm Weight: 36.34g

Small bifacial core, of impressively patinated black flint with lighter grey inclusions, now light misty grey to one face; the other is mottled brown, both faces have a few rusty iron scrapes. All flake scars are small, but broad and appear to be hard hammer struck. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 700 BC.

It is now largely covered in a heavy off-white patina with small areas of reddish brown ferrous staining, mainly on the flake scar ridges. A single platform core with multiple blade removals around one side. There is some recent damage to the distal and and the platform.

A flint core possibly dating to the Mesolithic period, or otherwise the Neolithic period, c. 10000 - 2350 BC. A single platform bladelet core of irregular shape, but tending towards conical. Made from a piece of mottled dark grey and light grey flint with a high gloss patina. There is a small area of cortex remaining. The rest of the "conical" surface is covered in multiple bladelet removal scars. The flakes have been removed from a single prepared platform.

Opaque pale grey flint possible core fragment. A thin sub-rectangular flake with broad and narrow long flakes removed by unidirectional working from a flat platform. Both the long edges may be serrated, though this is more easily felt than observed; along one long side the putative serration may be accompanied by very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect. The ventral surface is flat. If not a core, this might alternatively be a plano-convex knife, perhaps unfinished. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic, 7000-3500 BC Length: 51.4mm, Width: 28.2mm, Thickne…
