Description: | An assemblage of ten worked flint objects that appear to form a relatively coherent Neolithic assemblage. They have a combined total weight of 304.47g and probably date to between c.3500-2100 BC.1) An unpatinated end scraper struck from a mottled grey flint on a snapped blade. It has steep edge retouch at the distal end and parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. The scraper measures 65.36mm in length, 42.29mm in width, 9.73mm in thickness and 27.57g in weight. It is of Neolithic date.2) An unpatinated end scraper struck from a mottled grey flint on a long blade. It has steep edge retouch at the distal end, parallel flake scars on the dorsal face and notches to each side. The scraper measures 66.10mm in length, 36.84mm in width, 10.02mm in thickness and 21.91g in weight. It is of Neolithic date.3) An unpatinated end scraper struck from a mottled grey flint on a long flake. It has steep edge retouch at the distal end and sides, prominent bulb of percussion and parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. The scraper measures 55.58mm in length, 41.82mm in width, 10.53mm in thickness and 29.25g in weight. It is of Neolithic date.4) An unpatinated blade with limited edge retouch or use wear and parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. It measures 56.49mm in length, 22.98mm in width, 8.53mm in thickness and 9.36g in weight. It is of Neolithic date.5) An unpatinated blade with limited edge retouch or use wear and parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. It measures 54.45mm in length, 18.14mm in width, 7.15mm in thickness and 8.11g in weight. It is of Neolithic date.6) An unpatinated irregular flake with limited edge retouch. It has a prominent bulb of percussion and some cortex remaining on the dorsal face. It measures 67.73mm in length, 47.24mm in width, 11.98mm in thickness and 33.32g in weight. It is of later Prehistoric date.7) A lightly patinated long flake with limited edge retouch including notches on both sides. It measures 76.23mm in length, 49.32mm in width, 18.11mm in thickness and 38.49g in weight.8) A lightly patinated large, thick flake struck from a grey flint with mottled surfaces. It has limited edge retouch, prominent bulb of percussion and flake scars on the dorsal face. The flake measures 82.92mm in length, 60.32mm in width, 18.87mm in thickness and 76.04g in weight. It is of Neolithic date.9) A patinated long flake with mottled grey/white surfaces. It has limited edge retouch and parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. The flake measures 76.60mm in length, 35.91mm in width, 11.70mm in thickness and 28.14g in weight. It is of probable Neolithic date.10) A patinated 'Laurel-Leaf' point that has a heavy pale grey to white patination. There is limited edge retouch along all sides and on one face that is more lightly patinated there is extensive all over flake removal and retouch. It measures 68.84mm in length, 48.41mm in width, 9.05mm in thickness and 32.28g in weight. It is of Neolithic date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
