Record ID: BERK-0F5F58
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two flint flakes of uncertain prehistoric date, but probably Neolithic to Bronze Age. The flakes both retain the striking platform as well as flake scars on the dorsal surface, but there is no retouching on either flake. The flint is a light, semi-translucent brown with mottled bluish-grey patina. One retains approximately 20% cortex. The flakes measure 36.79mm L x 22.2mm W x 3.14mm T and 3.6 grams, and 33.03mm L x 21.05mm W x 3.05mm T and 3 grams. Both display post-deposition damaging and weathering.

Record ID: BERK-60D654
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint flake of the prehistoric period. The flake retains a small amount of cortex on one distal side. The platform is present as is the bulb of percussion. Although there is some minimal retouching on one edge the majority appears to be damage rather than purposeful retouching. The dorsal surface of the flake has also suffered damage and some flake scars are evident at the proximal end. Probably Neolithic or early Bronze Age in date.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint arrowhead, a small oblique point, dating from the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period (c. 2500-1500 BC). The arrowhead has been bifacially worked and is in good condition; there is invasive retouch on both the dorsal and ventral faces, and on all margins and at the distal and proximal ends. The base is hollow and has slight barbs on either side that would have been hafted on to the arrow shaft. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2 which is common for this type of oblique arrowhead.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 53, Fig.5.12, No.L123, w…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint blade dating from the early Neolithic period (c.4000-3000 BC). The blade is made on a secondary flake of a dark grey, semi-translucent flint. The distal end retains approximately 20% brown-white cortex. The blade is retouched around all dorsal edges apart from at the distal end; thinning of the bulb is evident at the proximal end on the ventral side. The blade widens from 7.41mm at the proximal end to 23.34mm at the distal end and has a roughly trapezoidal cross section.

Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very large flint axe head, dating from the Neolithic period (4000-2100 BC). The axehead has been fashioned from a single flint nodule and retains cortex on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces as well as the proximal end. There are flaked removals over all surfaces and the distal end, or tip of the axe has been flaked clean of cortex. The tip and one edge of the axe bears evidence of rolling or bashing, probably due to post-depostional damage. Alison Roberts of the Ashmolean Museum has suggested that this may be an incomplete axehead, known as a 'roughout', and was lost or discarded…

Record ID: BERK-2FED97
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
An unusually large and chunky Neolithic arrowhead dating from c. 4000 - 2100 BC. The arrowhead was the cause of consideration by Alison Roberts (Ashmolean Museum) and Prof. Nick Barton (Institute of Archaeology), and thanks are given for their comments, which follow:
'The flint appears at first to be of considerable age, however it is too small to be of Upper Palaeolithic origin, but is not quite right for the Neolithic period either. There are large laurel-leaf arrowheads of the Neolithic that have been found in East Anglia, so it is probably better to consider this as a Neolithic…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint axe made on a tertiary flake, and probably dating from the Neolithic period, possibly a rough-out. The axe is quite a small example and has large flake removals on the dorsal surface. The reverse (ventral) side of the axe is roughly fractured and some limited flaking is evident at one end. Some re-cortication is evident, and part of the platform is retained. Probably Neolithic in date, c. 4000-2200 BC.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A flint scraper made on a tertiary flake, and probably dating from the later Neolithic to Bronze Age (c. 2500 - 1500 BC). The scraper is retouched along both edges of the dorsal surface only. Some flaking may be evident on the ventral surface.

Record ID: BERK-B80796
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper probably dating from the earlier part of the Neolithic period (c.3500-2500 BC). The scraper is quite large and has been made on a primary flake of grey-blue flint, with the dorsal surface retaining over 95% outer cortex; the cortex has been flaked away to create the scraper edge. There appears to be no or very limited retouch on the ventral side. The lack of preparation of the flake suggests the tool was made quickly for a specific purpose and may have been disposed of soon after use.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A incomplete late Neolithic / Bronze Age tanged and barbed arrowhead. The arrowhead is long and slender having been finely worked bifacially. The tang is pointed and again worked bifacially. The tip of the arrowhead is missing but otherwise it is a very well made and well preserved object with no indication of post-depositional damage. Arrowheads of this type are not a common find; those more often found are usually short and squat.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint side scraper on a secondary flake dating from the Neolithic to Bronze Age (c 4000-800 BC). The scraper retains the platform and bulb of percussion. Flaked retouch removals on one lateral side are large and crude and the minimal precision retouching suggests a later prehistoric date.
