NHER 5266 (Find Spot record) - Multi-period prehistoric finds and medieval ewer fragment

1954-1960. Stray Find.
A range of finds were recovered by the late Frank Curtis in this field, which he designated F113. The information on these finds was collated by F. Healy (NAU) who examined Curtis' catalogue and part of his collection. The following worked flints are listed in (S1) and (S2):
1 Mesolithic 'microlith' and 1 sharpening flake. The sharpening flake was recorded by R. Jacobi (S3) as showing signs of heavy use.
2 Neolithic leaf arrowheads.
2 'harpoon barbs'. Probably Neolithic transverse petit tranchet derivative arrowheads.
2 Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowheads.
1 Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age plano-convex knife (only listed in (S1)).
9 scrapers.
6 'borers'.
3 fabricators.
7 other implements.
Previously recorded under NHER 5170.
