Object type: PERFORATED OBJECT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic to Neolithic (8,300 to 4,500 BC) perforated object: stone pebble hammer or mace head. The pebble hammer is incomplete, approximately half remains, and this half is semi-cylindrical in plan, with an incomplete perforation along the straight broken edge. The perforation has an hour-glass profile and measures: 25mm diameter at its narrowest and 32mm deep. The stone is possibly hard sandstone.

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
An unfinished flint or chert tranchet axe of Mesolithic date. The axe is knapped from a heavily patinated flint or chert whose surface is mainly a mottled brown/yellow colour. Where there is recent damage the colour is a mottled light grey. In plan the axe is a sub-oval and is a sub-oval in section. The dorsal and ventral faces are covered with negative flake scars, but there is not a bifacial flake at the blade end, therefore it is considered to be an unfinished axe (Phil Watson pers comm). It measures 101.11mm length, 43.21mm width, and is 23.74mm thick. The fragment weighs 128g. Th…

Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Published
The core is knapped from a dark grey/black coloured flint. One face has a series of negative flake scras, however the other faces suggest they have been formed due to recent damage. Some cortex also remains, which may question the identification as being a fragment of a core. which is a variety of shades of brown. It weighs 11.47g, its maximum length is 32mm and the maximum width is 23.6mm. It is possibly Mesolithic.
