Description: | A collection of five worked flints (collective weight: 27.21g), as listed below: 1. One core rejuvenation flake with a probable end scraper at the base, probably dating to the Bronze Age between c. 2200 ? 800 BC. The flake has multiple dorsal scars and is struck off and ?rejuvenated?, therefore creating a fresh flaking bed on the core face, and prepares the core platform and face for further removals. There is a small area of retouch at the end. 2. One awl with retouch at either side of main protrusion, probably dating to the Bronze Age between c. 2200 ? 800 BC. Clive Bond states that ?an awl is defined as an instrument that through utilization marks and/ or retouch suggest a piercing and rotation action, and that the point is formed by retouch from more than one direction?. 3. One double-sided round scraper, with retouch at the right side direct and the left side inverse, probably dating to the Neolithic period, between c. 4000 - 2200 BC. There are two arrises on the dorsal side. 4. One end scraper, where the retouch is localised to the distal end, dating from the Neolithic ? Bronze Age period between c. 4000 ? c. 800 BC. 5. One worked debitage or waste, dating to the Prehistoric period (difficult to ascertain a particular period). | 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 | Temporal: | -4000
