Description
A collection of worked flint was gathered whilst carrying out a field evaluation of the pipeline's route across Mansfield Farm, Iver. A total of 733 humanly struck flints were recovered (584 flakes, 106 blades, 33 cores, and 10 tools). It is suggested that the assemblage is more reminiscent of tool production than tool use. A further 77 humanly struck flints were recovered during topsoil clearence (64 flakes, 3 blades, 3 cores, and 7 tools). The assemblage was judged to be comparable to that found during fieldwalking (B3).
The struck flint finds appears to concentrate in stints to the east of TQ 0388 8417 - namely stints L (13 fire cracked fragments and 21 struck flints including a core and a scraper), M (6 fire cracked flints and 13 struck), M (6 fire cracked flints and 13 struck), N (6 fire cracked flints and 8 struck), O (4 fire cracked flints and 19 struck), P (2 fire cracked flintsand 13 struck flints including 4 cores) and Q (4 fire cracked flisnt and 10 struck including 1 core and a scraper)(B4).
