Object type: PICK
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic flint implement, probably a pick (c. 6500 BC-c. 3500 BC). This implement, made on an elongated pebble, is sub-triangular in plan and sub-circular in cross-section. About 60% of the cortex is retained and has multi-directional flake removals. The cortex at the front (first image) is pitted and battered indicating that it was also used as a hammerstone. The butt is slightly oblique and has several small removals. The point has cortex on one side and has been flaked on the opposite side. The back has a large natural fracture and is mainl…

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Neolithic polished flint axehead (4000 BC-2351 BC). About 60% of the implement survives. The cutting edge is missing due to an old transverse break. In plan the butt is rounded and the sides flare to the break where it is pointed-oval in cross-section. In side view it is sub-rectangular but pointed at the butt end. Although the axehead has been polished, much of the flaking can be seen. A large flake scar near the break may have been created when it was broken. This axehead is orange and mid-brown in places with some small off-white areas. Length: 105.0mm; wi…
