Description: | 29 lithic implements
1, Truncated piece; the is a fragment of an unidentifiable artefact, no working edges, probably frost damaged. Grey flint with white speckles. Date prehistoric.
2, Debitage; cortex covering on side, the other side is uneven, no working edges. very dark grey flint with grey patches. Date Prehistoric.
3, Fire damaged truncated piece; this maybe the middle section (Medial). One arise on the dorsal, off centre, no bulb on the ventral. Possible retouch along both edges, but this has been obscured by later damage. Light grey patina. Date Neolithic.
4, Debitage; cortex on one edge, flaking scars cover the dorsal and ventral, no working edges. Grey flint, date Prehistoric.
5, Miscellaneous retouched piece; Multiple flaking scars cover the dorsal and ventral, very rough retouch along both sides. Creamy patina with darker speckles. Date Prehistoric.
6, Truncated piece and fire damaged; Working edge on one side with a semi-abrupt angled edge, very little remains. Flat dorsal and ventral, truncated at the top and the bottom, due to frost damage, the flint is heavily weathered. White patina with darker speckling/crackling. Date Prehistoric, possibly post Mesolithic.
7, Debitage/Core rejuvenation flake; Cortex covers 80% of the dorsal, there are three flaking scars to one end on this side. Slight remains of a bulb on the ventral. Grey flint. date Prehistoric.
8, Core rejuvenation flake; Multiple facets, striking platform at the top, cone shaped. Light grey patina with darker patches, this flint has been frost damaged. Date probably Mesolithic.
9, Miscellaneous retouched piece; Multiple flaking scars on the dorsal, remains of the bulb on the ventral. Low angled, long, crude, direct retouch around three of the edges, the forth edge is concave, and semi-abrupt. Off white patina, the retouch has removed the patina. Date Bronze Age-Iron Age.
10, Truncated burnt piece; The dorsal has two arises, the ventral is obscured by frost damage. All of the sides have been removed by frost damage. Creamy patina with dark brown/black cracking. Date Prehistoric.
11, Debitage; Multiple flaking scars on the dorsal, remains of the bulb on the ventral, no discernible working edge remains of cortex 5% on one edge. Date Prehistoric.
12, Debitage; Multiple flaking scars on the dorsal, remains of the bulb on the ventral, no discernible working edge remains of the cortex on one edge total 20%. Date Prehistoric.
13, Debitage; Cortex covers the dorsal, bulb of percussion missing from the ventral, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
14, Debitage; Cortex covers the dorsal, remains of the bulb on the ventral, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
15, Debitage; Flat dorsal, remains of the bulb on the ventral, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
16, Core rejuvenation flake; Multiple flaking scars on the top and dorsal, the ventral has been truncated by frost damage. Off white patina with grey patches. Date Mesolithic-Neolithic.
17, Debitage; Cortex covers the dorsal and make up about 45% of the mass the bulb is missing from the ventral, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric
18, Debitage; Cortex covers one side, there is no bulb of percussion, multiple faceted, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
19, Debitage; Cortex covers most of the artefact which makes up about 75% of the mass, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
20, Core rejuvenation flake; Multiple faceted, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
21, Miscellaneous retouched piece; No bulb on the ventral, cortex down one side, the top and lower edge have very fine, direct retouch. Dark grey flint. Date Prehistoric.
22, Core rejuvenation flake; Multiple faceted, striking platform on the top, the ventral has been truncated. Light grey patina with darker and orange patches where the ventral has been broken that has exposed the mid brown flint. Date Mesolithic-Neolithic.
23, Core rejuvenation flake (probably); Multiple faceted, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
24, Core rejuvenation flake; Multiple faceted on the dorsal, the opposite side is very uneven which is the remains of the cortex, no discernible working edge. The artefact is weathered with a creamy patina. Date Prehistoric.
25, Core rejuvenation flake; Multiple faceted on the dorsal with thin flaking scars, the ventral is uneven, cortex covers about 55% of the dorsal. The artefact is weathered with a creamy patina. Date Prehistoric.
26, Debitage; Cortex covers one side, multiple faceted, there is no bulb of percussion, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
27, Debitage; One side is heavily damaged, probably due to frost, there is no bulb of percussion on the ventral which is very uneven, no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
28, Debitage; Cortex covers three sides, most of the other surface is frost damaged, only one multiple faceted side remains. no discernible working edge. Date Prehistoric.
29, Miscellaneous retouched piece; One arise on the dorsal with cortex on the top, bulb is missing from the ventral. One side has a concave working edge, with short, direct retouch. The forward edge is rounded with long semi-abrupt retouch. Brown flint, date Bronze Age. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
