Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake, with limited retouch. Likely dated to the Neolithic or Bronze Age (c. 4000-801 BC). Short abrupt scaled retouch along right edge of both ventral and dorsal edge, about half way down flake. Percussion scarring is present but very diffuse, possibly indicating use of a soft hammer during orignal flaking. White patina over most of flake save for retouch and breaks.

Object type: BORER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
A lithic implement, possibly a borer dating from between the Neolithic and the early Bronze Age. The implement is irregular in shape, but has roughly three sides and is pointed at the top and bulbous at the bottom. It has cortex over much of the bottom which is mottled white and brown, the flint itself is dark grey blending to light brown on the two most worked sides and light brown and patinated on the third, least worked side. The borer has been flaked into shape with no clear bulb of percussion, short scaled semi-abrupt retouch along the point of the object. Measurements: 81.73m…

A flint adze of Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date c.10,000-3501 BC. This implement is roughly rounded triangular in plan and asymetric crested (triangular) in cross-section. Its side view it is roughly pointed oval. In plan, the butt end is much narrower than the cutting edge. It has been knapped overall. The flint is med grey at the blade end fading to light grey along the adze and has off-white and creamy mottling along its length, some of which is cortex forming. The cutting edge is realtively fine, with minimal damage. The edge has been created using parralel retouch stri…

Object type: ADZE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
A Neolithic knapped flint adze, dating to between (3500 BC - 2100 BC) The adze is ovoid in plan with a a lozenge cross section which becomes more rounded towards the butt. It has parallel sides, a slightly rounded butt and an angular almost riangular blade. The surface of the adze is covered in removals with scars and some impact ripples present where flakes were removed from the surface; it is possible there may be more recent damage, particularly at the butt end, but it is difficult to tell to what degree. The flaking is covering, moslty stepped (and some sparse scaled) and is angle…

A large waste flint flake of uncertain date, likely neolithic or Bronze Age (c.4000bc-800bc). The flint is a light transluscent gray-brown colour with some grey beige cortex remaining on the distal end of the dorsal face. Clear bulb of percussion visible on the ventral face with substantial ripple marks radiating form it, likely caused by the use of a hard hammer. The dorsal face has som shallow flaking but no evidence of retouch along the sides. The flint is irregular in plan and quite thin. Measurments: 54.34mm long, 36mm wide, 6.98mm thick and 14.75g in weight.

A large probable blade waste flake of uncertain date, likely neolithic or Bronze Age (c.4000bc-800bc). The flint is opaque and a light grey colour with speckled white and dark grey spots. Clear bulb of percussion visible on the ventral face with few subtle ripple marks (conchoidal fracture) radiating form it, likely due to a soft hammer strike. The dorsal face has long thin flaking along the surface likely relating to the removal of blade flakes or similar. Some retouch present on the left side of the distal end of the dorsal face.

The flint is light transluscent grey colour darkening to the centre, giving a smokey effect. Clear bulb of percussion visible on the ventral face with substantial ripple marks radiating form it, likely caused by the use of a hard hammer.

Large secondary flint waste flake, likely dating from late Neolithic (c.2,700BC) to late Bronze Age (c.801BC). The flake is mostly a light browny-grey with some patches of light grey-white, a very dark grey patch by the bulb of percussion and light brown cortex covering the stirking platform. The bulb of percussion is clear and just below the striking platform on the ventral face with very clear ripples down the ventral face due to the striking, both thest features on a clear uncortexed piece of flint suggest hard hammer striking indicative of later prehistoric flint technologies.

A fragment of flint knife, of likely plano-convex knife type dating from the late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age(c.3300 BC - 1000 BC). The fragment consists of the butt of the knife. The fragment is sub-rectangular in shape with three rounded sides which have been heavily retouched on the dorsal side to shape it and begin to create good edges. The retouch is predominantly on the dorsal face and is covering sub-parallel scaled at a low angle. Some varied low angle flaking is present on the ventral side but is not consistant. The flat end is a break, the conchoidal fractures (ripples) …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A rounded flint scraper of uncertain date, likely Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age (c.3300BC - 1000BC). The scraper is irregularly ovoid, with wide unworked faces on the ventral and dorsal side. The bulb of percussion and dish left by the preperation striking removal of a large flake on the dorsal face are very pronounced which suggest hard hammer technology, usually associated with flint technology after the middle of the Neolthic. Roughly half ot the edge, centering on the end of the distal end has short, scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The rest of the edge up to the very small flat s…

County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near complete flint borer of late Neolithic-Early Bronze age date (c. 3300 BC - 1000 BC). The borer is sub triangular in shape with extensive short scaled low angle retouch along the mesal (sides), which comes in from both the ventral and dorsal facings to create a curved point which has snapped off in antiquity. The flaking and retouch has created a crescent shape which has left a serrated internal curve on the right side (of the ventral face), perhaps suggesting the object had either a duel use as both scraper and borer or the point snapped and it was reworked as a scraper or s…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily patinated possible Neolithic (c.4000-2200 BC) incomplete axehead roughout. The object has a wedge shape in plan and faceted cross-section. There is some clear heavy conchoidal fracturing mostly emanating from the edges on the back face's upper surface and likely relate to second phase of working, occurring at some point after the formation of its patinated surface. The sides both present some hinge fractures which may relate to post-depositional damage. The left side of it is quite worn, shows some evidence of recortication and concave. The right side is less patinated and a…

A fragment of flint knife made from a utilised flake, dating from the late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age(c.3300BC - 1000 BC). The fragment consists of a utilised secondary or tertiary flake utilised as a blade and survives as the butt and middle of the knife. The fragment is sub-rectangular in shape with heavily conchoidal fractures (rippling) on the ventral face. The flake was created with long shallow flaking. The retouch to create the blade is only visible just before the break. The flat end is the break of the blade. Brown cortex remains along the top of the flake. The fragme…
