Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint axehead. A flaked axehead. Made on a nodule of pale grey-brown flint, now patinated to matt off-white and with iron staining along the flake ridges. Flaked on both faces from the edges, butt and cutting edge. All the cortex has been removed. The side edges are largely straight. It has a wide, slightly convex, cutting edge formed by flake removals from the edge into the body of the axehead. The axe tapers to the butt and has a lentoid cross section. There is some slight damage to the butt. Date: Neolithic - c. 4000 to 2350 BC Dimensions: 118 mm x 60 mm x 27&n…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic discoidal scraper struck from a tertiary flake of grey flint, 47.3mm in length. The distal edge terminates in a hinge fracture and the sides and proximal end have been worked into scraping edges with short, semi-abrupt sub-parallel retouch. There is a notch at the proximal end next to the striking platform, which most likely derives from post depositional damage.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small Neolithic scraper struck from a tertiary flake of grey flint. The striking platform and bulbar scar are both pronounced and there is a deep concavity in the dorsal surface, all suggesting hard hammered removal. The distal end has a working edge defined by short, abrupt and semi-abrupt sub-parallel retouch.

An complete worked flint flaked axe of Neolithic date (c.4,000-2,350BC) Description: The object is broadly oval in plan and in cross section. It has been produced from a tertiary flake of pale grey flint; there are dark grey patches on both sides at the distal end. The ventral face has invasive, scaled, abrupt retouch and a possible striking platform at the proximal end although there is possible later damage in this area; the dorsal face has a slightly concave curve and short, scaled, abrupt retouch along both mesal. This po…

A tertiary flint flake. Incomplete. The flake is of mid-grey flint with off-white patches and has a glossy patina. There is a wide striking platform at the proximal end and a low bulb of percussion on the ventral face. The distal end has been snapped off. There are multiple, multi-directional flaking scars on the dorsal face, some possibly to thin the flake to create an arrowhead or other implement Date: Neolithic to Early Bronze Age c. 4000 - 1600 BC Length: 23.41 mm Width: 20.37 mm Thickness: 7.29 mm Weight: 3.14 g

A flint blade flake. A tertiary flake of mottled grey and white flint with an off-white matt patina. The distal end only which appears snapped off. There are two parallel logitudinal flaking scars on the dorsal face creating a triangular cross section. Date: Neolithic - c. 4000 - 2350 BC Dimansions 29 mm x 17 mm x 6 mm Weight: 2.37 g

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly cuboid flint core of suspected early Neolithic date, struck from a dark grey flint. There are three, possibly four striking platforms, arranged orthogonally and with platform edge abrasion demonstrating preparation. There are two patched of buff coloured cortex retained on the sides.

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small discoidal scraper of Neolithic or Bronze Age date made from a secondary flake of grey flint which has recorticated to a bluish white in patches. The distal end has been refined into a working edge using long, semi abrupt parallel retouch. The dorsal surface retains 40% of its buff coloured cortex.
