Record ID: HESH-ABF3E7
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete ground and polished axehead formed of a very fine grained siliceous stone / banded flint of probable Neolithic date (3000-2000 BC). The axe is knapped from a flint which has banded colours which range from a bale cream buff through to a deep chocolate brown. There are areas of mid orange staining across the body and this is possibly as a result in the burial environment - possibly indicating deposition within soils that are iron rich or have a predilection towards iron panning / waterlogging. The matrix of the stone is smooth although areas of highly polished mid grey white…

Record ID: HESH-E34FD0
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2900-1800 BC). The scraper is broadly oval in plan and irregular (broadly lentoid) in cross section being formed from a tertiary debitage flake. The upper / dorsal face of the scraper exhibits a series of irregular flake scars suggesting that this piece has been removed from a larger flake and been subsequently reused. These flake scars show knapping in several directions. The lower / ventral face has a series of conchoidal ripples; the bulb of percussion and striking platform are removed and the flake has been thinn…

Record ID: HESH-D36031
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (2900 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly oval in both plan and D shaped in cross section. It has number of regular facets created by flaking on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. The lower (ventral) face has very little evidence of flaking. It does however show evidence of the striking platform, bulb of percussion and conchoidal fractures. There is a small area of cortex (the rough outer skin of the flint nodule) present on the dorsal face. Also there is a small hole / depression on one face where originally…

Record ID: HESH-A29352
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint debitage from the final / tertiary phase of knapping dating from the later Neolithic 2900-2100 BC. The piece of debitage has been reworked into a small irregular discoidal scraper. Both the dorsal and ventral faces exhibit a number of flake scars in several different directions. One edge has been extensively reworked with neat regular flakes being removed to create a serrated scraping edge. The end has similar reworking present – possibly suggesting a chisel like edge. The flint is a mid grey colour; there is some evidence of damage through abrasion in the ploughsoil and the ed…

Record ID: HESH-F2F078
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flake of flint debitage (waste product from tool production) of probable later Neolithic date (2900 - 2100 BC). The debitage is from the secondary phase of tool production as one face has a relatively large area of cortex (outer rind of flint nodule) present suggesting that it is derived from nodules bedded in chalk. The flake is irregular in plan and also profile. The dorsal (upper) face has a series of relatively regular flake facet scars present whilst the ventral (lower) face shows a clear bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples. These are in the same plane to the flake scars on …

Record ID: HESH-8C24B3
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small irregular flint waste flake / debitage probably dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and D shaped in cross section. It has number of regular facets (caused by flaking) on the upper (dorsal) face of the flake. There are also a number of hinge fractures caused by flaws within the flint matrix. There is no evidence of cortex (the rough outer skin of the flint nodule) present on either face. This suggests that this flake comes from the tertiary phase of tool production. On the reverse face (ventral) is a clear bulb of percuss…
