Record ID: LANCUM-D86BA5
Object type: MACE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Stone perforated axe-hammer of probably the very late Neolithic or early Bronze Age period, dating from c. BC 2500 - c. BC 1800. Axe-hammers are also known as Battle Axes and some of the smaller examples have been recorded as perforated maces (mace-heads). The differences between these types / classifications are uncertain and the artefact type as a whole is in need of reassessment in line with modern discoveries and approaches to artefact studies. This is further complicated by signs of water wear on the artefact making it difficult to definitively identify as an axe hammer or mac…

An incomplete polished stone Langdale Tuff axehead of Neolithic date (3500-2400 BC). The handaxe is broken at the cutting edge and at the butt end. The surface of the axe is granular but smooth with a distinct blue green hue. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and tapers inward toward the butt and is sub-ovate is section with slightly flattened sides. The blade end tapers out to the sided and in along the blade edge. The axe is broken at the blade and along one side. It is possible that it has been ritually broken. The object is a Langdale polished Axehead, called as such due to…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A complete though probably unfinished stone axehead probably a roughout of Neolithic date, c. 3500 - 2100 BC discovered below the foundations of a cottage garden wall. The axehead is possibly of the Graig Lwyd Group VII axe - the patina looks the type and the white speckles on a blue-grey matrix is typical of the rock type or it could be an epidiotised greenstone Group VI Langdale axe. The axe head is trapezoidal in plan with a pointed ovate section. The surfaces are rough with a chip to one side of the butt edge. The unpolished nature of the object suggests it was not properly finish…

A flint thumb-nail scraper of very late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date c.2400-2100 BC. The flint is sub-rounded save for the striking platform edge. It has has short scaled abrupt retouch around the entirety of the rounded edges. The ventral face has been heavily rework to flatten the bulb of percussion with long invasive low angled retouch. Almost all the striking appears to be with heavy hammer technology. The scraper is a limid reddish yellow with mottling possibly from being exposed. The length is 27mm, the width is 14mm, thickness 13mm and the weight 3.77g.

County: Blackburn with Darwen
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Smooth stone probably dating to the later prehistoric period 3500 to 800BC. Probably quartzite and is sub-oval in plan, lenticular in profile and in section. It may have been used as a hammerstones which are hard cobbles used to strike lithic flakes during the process of lithic reduction or crushing minerals. It may also be a rubbing stone used in the manufacture of hide or within a saddle quern to grind grain. The length is 150mm, the width is 140mm and the weight too heavy for scales.

Possibly a late Neolithic to early Bronze Age axe head roughout made from a tertiary flake of Langdale tuff. Triangular in plan, profile and section; the base being slightly convex, but almost flat. The piece is bevelled to a broad edge at one end and tapers to a point at the other, to form a conical shape, similar to the pointed butt end of an axe.

Approximately 90% of a Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead missing the pointed tip which appears to have a clean break. Some of the outer cortex remains on the dorsal side along one edge. Also on the dorsal side there is a small conchoidal fracture from the striking platform. The ventral side appears smooth and un-worked. There is a small amount of re-touch along the outer edges but possible flaws have resulted in damage to the overall shape. The flint is convex in profile and at the proximal end of the ventral side there is a prominent ridge. The patina is a mottled blue-grey in colour. …

Scaper or roughout axe fragment of probable later Neolithic date (2500-2100 BC). The scraper is knapped from a grey volcanic tuff. This scraper is sub-rectangular plan with distinctive humped faces. It is impossible to source scrapers such as these without a detailed petrological analysis of the rock. This would allow the original source of the rock to be established. However, the weathered colour of the tuff is typically similar to a number of axes in the collection of Kendal Museum and Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery, Carlisle, which have been petrographically tested as coming fro…

Black Pennines chert scraper possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic 6500-2900 BC. The chert is a dull black in colour with traces of the original white banding at the distal end. The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are sources of black chert in the South Pennines. The chert is worked on 3 faces and the proximal point has been worked into a long narrow tapering point now broken suggesting a kind of boring tool. The length is 4mm in length and 2mm in width.

The scraper is constructed out of the same material as Langdale axes. The scraper is sub-oval in plan with an extant bulb of percussion at the distal point and evidence of retouch along one edge. It is impossible to source scrapers such as these without a detailed petrological analysis of the rock. This would allow the original source of the rock to be established.

County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Late Mesolithic-early Neolithic chert debitage dating between 8300-2100BC.There is no bulb of percussion or striking platform evident, they have possibly been worked away due to the small size of the lithic. There is a small amount of evidence to suggest that the ventral end has evidence of ripples from the strike and shows a small amount of working along the edges. The proximal end has evidence of working to a point. The dorsal has evidence of one blade being removed and then evidence of working along the edges and reworking along where the blade was removed. The distal end has also …

Late Mesolithic-early Neolithic chert debitage dating between 8300-2100BC. No visible bulb of percussion, perhaps missing? The striking platform is also thought to be missing.

Axe rough out of probable later Neolithic date (2500-2100 BC). The length is 170mm, width 55mm and thickness 45mm. The axe is knapped from a light blueish/grey buff volcanic tuff. This axe is, like many of the larger and finished (polished) Langdale axes, sub-rectangular plan with distinctive humped faces. The axe fragment has been damaged in several areas (old and fresh damage). The recent damage can be seen as a number of distinct hinge fractures and relatively deep and uncontrolled flakes located along both long edges of the axe and especially the butt area. The overall surface is…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Complete 'D' shaped scraper knapped from grey black flint and dating from the late Neolithic period 2500-2100BC, possibly a Riley Type 5 (Bond, C. Plate 5.112 and 5.113). The scraper is complete, made from a short, round flake with retouch along the total distal and halfway up the two mesial edges. Both the ventral and dorsal faces are very smooth with even ripple marks. Scrapers could have many uses from scraping the fat off animal skins, to scraping the bark off arrow shafts. The length is 42mm, width 34mm, thickness 6mm and the weight is 14.21g.
