Description: | Group of 11 flints, all flakes, 3 end scrapers, 1 oval scraper, 3 notched pieces and 4 plain flakes, all appear to be hard hammer and probably of the same date even though the is some differential patination, suggesting a late Neolithic or Bronze Age date.1. Oval scraper, unpatinated, dark brown / black, 10% cortex on dorsal face, natural butt, parallel flake scars, retouch on both edges and distal end, hard hammer.2. End scraper on an oval flake, medium patination, 10% cortex on dorsal face, medium brown flint, damaged butt, parallel flake scars on dorsal face, retouch on distal end, probably hard hammer.3. End scraper on a long thick flake, unpatinated, 50 % cortex on dorsal face, mid grey and brown in colour, plain butt, one parallel flake scare, good retouch on distal end, possible poor retouch or use-ware on both sides, pronounced ripples, hard hammer.4. Notched long flake, unpatinated, 30 % cortex on dorsal face, dark grey in colour, plain butt, parallel fake scars, notch on distal end, possible retouch or use-ware on both edges near proximal end, hard hammer.5. Flake, heavy patination, 95% cortex on dorsal face, dark grey in colour, damaged butt, partial damage on both edges and ends, hard hammer. 6. Round flake, heavy patination, 15% cortex on dorsal face, dark grey / black in colour, plain butt, parallel flake scars, on dorsal face, some edge damage, hard hammer.7. Small notched flake, unpatinated, 5% cortex on one edge, light brown in colour, parallel flake scars on dorsal face, notch on one edge and possible retouch on the other, hard hammer.8. Large end scraper on a long thick flake, unpatinated, 80% cortex on dorsal face, light to mid grey in colour, plain butt, two parallel flake scars on dorsal face one is hinge fractured, fairly invasive retouch on dorsal face at distal end, hard hammer.9. Small flake, medium patination, 2% cortex on one edge and 30% on dorsal face, mid brown in colour, plain butt, parallel flake scars on dorsal face, hinge fractured, hard hammer.10. Fairly large round'ish flake, medium patination, 40% cortex on dorsal face, mid-dark brown in colour, parallel flake scars, plain butt, hinge fractured hard hammer. 11. Large thick notched flake, unpatinated, 1% cortex on dorsal face, light grey in colour, plain butt, random flake scars, 3 probable notches 1 on distal end the other 2 on 1 edge near distal end, hammer unsure. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
