Object type: PERFORATED OBJECT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete stone axe of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 8,300 to 2,500 BC). In plan the axe is an irregular ellipse, having a slightly wider cutting edge than the butt. An hour-glass shaped hole extends through the axe; this hole is off-centred, being located approximately one third in from the butt. In section the axe is oval with flattened sides. Both the butt and the cutting edge are pointed oval in section. Some damage has occured to the cutting edge, exposing a green coloured grain somewhat similar to the greenstone sources at Langdale, Cumbria. The butt is flat. Length: 126mm, …

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Approximately half of a Mesolithic to Neolithic (8,300 to 4,500 BC) stone pebble hammer or mace head. The mace would have been circular in plan, with a diameter of about 95mm; in section it is oval. The perforation has an hour-glass profile and measures 35mm in diameter. The weight is 154g. The stone is hard, charcoal-grey in colour, and fine-grained. The uncertain tool type and large date range is due to problems in assigning this artefact a specific class. It is most likely that this artefact belongs to the class of pebble hammer which dates to the Mesolithic period, 8,300 to 4,5…

A flint core, probably dating to the Mesolithic period. It is conical with flakes removed all the way round. No cortex remains. The flint is mid brown/black in colour. This appears to have been used to manufacture small blades.

Record ID: LIN-664586
Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete flint axe, probably a 'tranchet' type dating to the late Mesolithic or early Neolithic. The axe is slender in plan, tapering to a narrow rounded butt. In cross-section the axe is pointed oval. Both sides are worked, and there appears to be an area of polish - presumably through wear - at the butt-end. The flint is mottled brown in colour and patinated all over.

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core. The core is roughly pointed oval in cross-section and roughly rectangular in plan. The proximal end is flat and all of the elongated flakes now represented by scars and bulbs of percussion run from this end. Some of the scars have a reddish-rust coloured patina. Probably late Mesolithic given the style of flake removal.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core made from an elongated nodule of flint. The nodule is roughly rectangular in plan, oval in cross-section and comma shaped in profile. The concave side is covered with a brown coloured cortex. Flake scars run between 60 and 70mm in length and have been taken from both ends. The flint is dark brown in colour. Possibly Mesolithic given the length of the blades being knapped.
