Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint waste flake of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The flake measures 29mm by 22.4mm by 8.8mm and weighs 5.9g. The secondary (40% cortex remaining on the distal surface) flake is a mid to dark grey and slightly mottled. It is fresh and complete. The large platform and pronouced bulb of percussion suggest the use of a hard hammer. There is some minor edge damage but no clear retouch.

Record ID: LIN-162204
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tool, possibly an chisel or scraper. The object is roughly triangular in plan and in cross-section, with flakes taken off both dorsal and ventral surfaces. The fragment is from the top end however the tip is missing. The butt is gentley curved and looks as if it could be original rather than reworking of a break, which would make the axe rather small. The flint is Lincolnshire Wolds flint, being mid-grey in colour with patches of iron staining. The finder suggests a Palaeolithic date for this piece, though a later prehistoric date is not unlikely.

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Blade end of a flint re-worked polished flint axe susquently partially burnt. A large part of the polished blade end of the original axe survives but below this the body has been re-worked with the removal of a number of large flake. Following this the surface, especially on one face, has been affected by discolouristaion and small pocking due to partial burning. Colour is a medium to dark grey/pale/grey. length 70mm, width 53mm, thickness 25mm, weight 75g. The original polished axe is Neolithic in date and the subsquent flaking Neolithic or Bronze Age the date of the burning is unknown.

County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very small tool made on a flint flake. Triangular in cross section; the ventral surface is smooth, one face of the dorsal surface retaining a rough, dark cortex. Lack of a clear bulb of percussion makes identification of proximal/distal ends of the artefact very difficult. There are two or three very small areas of retouch visible, these appear on both surfaces. Greenish-grey in colour.

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic (4000-2500BC) stone axe, dating circa 4000-2500 BC. The axe was knapped from what appears to be Cornish greenstone, and the surface was polished to give a smooth apperance. The surface is now rough and pitted due to weathering. The axe is sub-triangular in plan and lenticular in cross section. It is narrow at the butt end, measuring 22.53mm wide, 13.68mm thick. It is thickest at the mid-section, measuring 39.38mm. The axe is widest at the cutting edge, measuring 78.38mm wide.
