Lithic implement | BH-C699D1 |
Palaeolithic | Essex |
xml | csv json |
| A flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date. The axe has been made from a nodule or large flake. The base is slightly convex, a transverse flake having been removed in an attempt to flatten it. The convex sides taper towards a (possibly damaged) tip. The thickness also tapers from the base to t... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-DCBA63 |
Palaeolithic | Hertfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| An incomplete flint ovate handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic (c. 500,0000BP-c. 40,000BP) date. Wymer (1968, p. 57) suggests that the majority of ovate handaxes belong to the Late Middle Acheulian Industries. Approximatley half of the tool survives. It has convex sides and narrows towards the intact... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-6F9982 |
Palaeolithic | Hertfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A flint handaxe of probable Middle Palaeolithic (430,000 - 40,000 BP) date. The form of the tool is sub-cordate, having a rounded butt and slightly convex sides which taper towards a (now missing) point. In section, the tool is pointed sub-oval, with one face having a much more pronounced cu... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-FF5198 |
Palaeolithic | Hertfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A flint handaxe of probable lower Palaeolithic date. This tool was identified and recorded from photographs, making exact identification uncertain. However, the form is consistent with an Acheulian Flat-butted or 'Bout Coupé' handaxe (see J. Wymer; 1968; pp. 45-68). In plan, the tool is sub-t... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-1D9875 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A pointed flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic (c. 500,000 - 300,000 BC) date. The tool has been made from a large flint nodule. At the butt end there remains a portion of the original cortex. The tool tapers upwards from the rounded butt, decreasing gradually in width and thickness towards the... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-7F3426 |
Palaeolithic | Hertfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| Just over half of a Lower Palaeolithic bi-face handaxe. The suggested date range for this implement is 500,000BC - 300,000BC. The object would originally have been sub-oval. It is fairly simple in form, having been created by the removal of large, broad flakes and shaped to a rough point at en... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-15C215 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A broad flint blade of probable late Palaeolithic to early Mesolithic date. The implement is sub-rectangular, with rounded corners. It is trapezoidal in section and has two angled vertical faces either side of a flat central vertical face. There are several chips along the edges, which are probab... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-12B6D3 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A damaged and incomplete flint blade of probable late Palaeolithic to early Mesolithic date. The remainder of the implement measures 57.8mm long by 19.6mm wide and 5.9mm thick. The upper surface has a flat central vertical face between two angled vertical faces. The edges are worn and damaged. Th... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-11D185 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| An assemblage of 17 flint blades, probably ranging in date from late Palaeolithic to late Mesolithic. The wider blades probably date from the early Mesolithic period. They generally have two downwards angled vertical faces, which sit one either side of a flat central face. Some show evidence of r... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-793FF0 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A flint handaxe of lower Palaeolithic date. A thick butted, pointed handaxe typical of the mid Acheulian industries (c. -250,000 to -200,000 BP). The implement measures 132mm high by 65.6mm wide and 28mm thick. The base of the tool is only roughly shaped, with some of the natural surface of the f... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-5120E2 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| A possible crude flint implement of Palaeolithis date. The object is a re-touched flake of the mid to late Acheulian period. It is sub-oval in shape and measures 63.9mm high by 44.1mm wide and 18.3mm thick. The reverse of the flake is flat and there appears to be little if any working. The upper ... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-712533 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| Flint implement of lower Palaeolithic date. A flake scraper or knife dating to the mid Acheulean period (c. -200,000 BP or earlier). The object is heavily patinated on one of its surfaces and is made of a flint of fairly coarse greyish/buff colour. It was probably made by striking a core with a h... | |||||

Lithic implement | BH-70E927 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| Flint implement of Palaeolithic date. A heavy butted hand axe dating to the mid Acheulean period (c. 200,000 BP or earlier). The object is bifacially worked. It is made from a creamy/grey flint, and has a deep honey-coloured cortex. The axe has some modern damage to the point and to the butt. The... | |||||

Handaxe | BH-CDDB13 |
Palaeolithic | Hertfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| Approximately one half of an ovate handaxe of lower Palaeolithic date (c.-500,000 to -40,000). The implement has been shaped on both convex sides by the removal of transverse flakes. There is also some evidence for retouching around the edges. It has been broken transversely across the middle, pr... | |||||

Axe | BH-24E6A1 |
Palaeolithic | Bedfordshire |
xml | csv json |
| Flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date. Measures 125.6mm long, by 82.9mm wide, by 34.4mm thick. Weight = 324.5g. Thought to be Lower Palaeolithic due to the fact that a flake has been deliberately removed from one of the edges, thus creating a scraping edge. | |||||
