Flint Catalogue abbreviations

Site Info.

Int.: Intervention Number. Cont.: The context number where appropriate. Feat.: The feature number where appropriate. S.F.: The Small Find number of the item. Quant.: The number of finds recorded

Raw Material

Material: F = Flint. C = Chert. A = Agate. Q = Quartz. T = Tuff. F. Col.: The colour of the raw material. / or ? = Unknown. BL = Black. BR = Brown. G = Grey. P = Pink. R = Red. CR = Cream. Cort.: The amount of cortex present on a piece expressed as a percentage (%). C. Col.: The colour of the cortex where present. BR = Brown. CR = Cream. R = reduced. C = Chalky. Patina: The colour of any patina followed by the percentage (%) of surface affected e.g W100. G = Grey. W = White. Y = Yellow

Technology

Type: The primary form of the item irrespective of further working. B = Blade. BD = Blade Distal. BM = Blade Mid. BP = Blade Proximal. D = Debitage (followed by size grading in 5 mm increments). F = Flake. IB = Irregular burnt piece (followed by size grading in 5 mm increments). NP = natural pebble (followed by size grading in 5 mm increments) F denotes fragment. Interp.: Interpretation of function of piece. RET = Retouched. USE = Utilised piece (may be followed by ? when unsure). Free text descriptions allowed e.g. SCRAPER, MICROLITH. ? = possible. Work.: To indicate type of working and where AE = All edges. E & E = End and edge – usually used for scrapers. BAT = Battered. LE = Left edge (when viewing dorsal surface). PF = Pressure flaked. RE = Right edge (when viewing dorsal surface). DE = Distal end. RET = Retouch May be followed by ? when unsure. Period: P = Palaeolithic. M = Mesolithic. ME = Early Mesolithic. ML = Late Mesolithic. MV = Very late Mesolithic. N = Neolithic. NE = Early Neolithic. NL = Late Neolithic. B = Bronze Age. BE = Early Bronze Age. BL = Late Bronze Age. Length: Dimensions given in millimetres (mm). Breadth: Dimensions given in millimetres (mm). Width: Dimensions given in millimetres (mm). Bulb: The knapping technique used to remove a flint. H = Hard Hammer. S = Soft Hammer. SH = Piece shattered from a strike elsewhere on the flint. ? = undetermined. REM = removed. Burnt: Indicate whether the piece is burnt on the following scale: - 0 = not burnt. 1 = lightly fired (some surface crazing, glossing or staining). 2 = medium exposure to heat (large cracks appear, pot lid fractures, surface becomes grey or white). 3 = heavily fired (surfaces completely patinated, significant pot lids and shattering). Damage: Record damage as A(ncient), M(odern) or T(hermal). Indicate which edge. Notes: Free text field
