Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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…

A flint end scraper of uncertain date, likely Neolithic to early Bronze Age (c.4000BC - 1000BC). Description: The scraper is a blunted ovoid, formed from a tertiary flake, with a thin striking platform at the proximal end and a dorsal face has formed by two long even flakes. The ventral face has a pronounced bulb of percussion, bulb scar and substantial conchoidal fractures which suggests it was produced with hard hammer technology, usually associated with flint technology after the middle of the Neolithic. Roughly 75% to the edge, centering on the distal end has short, scaled semi…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint implement of uncertain use, likely dating to the Neolithic, c.4000 BC - 2200 BC. Description: The implement is irregularly shaped, in cross-section it is triangular as the dorsal face has a central ridge and is convex. The bulb of percussion is very very subtle as are the conchoidal fractures / rippling. There is irregular short scaled semi-abrupt retouch along the sides. The retouch may in fact be intentional blunting with battering/bashed edge (similar to backed edges of backed blades) rather than retouch but it isn't clear why this would happen on both edges. The impleme…

A small D-shaped flint scraper of early-mid Neolithic date c.3500 - 2200BC. Description: The scraper is made from a D-shaped flake, with very limited short scaled semi-abrupt retouch around the convex side of the scraper. The scraping edge along the flat side is long stepped and semi-abrupt. The flaking to produce the scraping edge almost entirely obscure the bulb of percussion. The conchoidal ripples from the now obscured bulb of percussion and other flaking are quite substantial. The flint is a dark grey colour over three quarters of its surface with a long crescent quarter of th…

A 'rounded' flint scraper of likely Neolithic - early Bronze-Age date c.4000 - 1000BC. Description: The scraper is made from a rectangular shaped piece of flint with rounded edges. The scraper has retouch along three edges which due to the length of the sides is 85% of the edges. The retouch on the right side of the dorsal face is short scaled and semi-abrupt, while on the bottom edge it is short, scaled abrupt retouch. The retouch on the left edge is however flaking angled towards the ventral face and is short scaled and semi-abrupt. The ventral face has a shallow bulb of percussi…

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.

It has been flaked to shape from a larger piece of flint by covering scaled semi-abrupt flaking. The tool has a hinge fracture at one end is pointed and triangular in plan with cortex still adhering across half of it. It is presumed this is the working end as one would expect the butt end would be flatter. the pointed end has less flaking also, so it is uncertain if this was a working end or if …
