County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Published
In plan the flake is a sub-oval shape, and in section is a sub-trapezoidal shape. The sides have vertical bnegative flake scars. The upper surface is a flat ventral surface. The lower surface has some negative scars. It is the side scars that suggest this was originally from a core.
The flint is a dark mottled grey colour.

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete and abraded handaxe of probable Palaeolithic date. In plan the axe is broadly triangular in plan. In cross section the axe has a clear humped shape. The axehead is bi-facially worked although some of the flakes on both the dorsal and ventral faces are invasive with hinge fractures suggesting they are a result of uncontrolled 'natural flaking' through movement in the soil. The dorsal (upper) face of the axe has been worked in many differing directions and controlled flake scars can be seen in many places, there is visible cortex. The ventral (reverse) face has many heavil…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible knapped flint Palaeolithic tool or flake. The fragment is knapped from flint which is a mottled light grey/cream colour, but where there is the original surface remaining it has developed a heavy patination, which is a age/brown colour. Only a fragment of the object has this heavy patination, but it is these areas which appear to be negative flake scars. On both scars ripples of percussion are visible. Otherwise the surfaces of the object are caused by recent damage. It weighs 14.15g. The patination, shape of the flake scars and ripples of percussion suggest this was knappe…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable Palaeolithic to Neolithic (400,000 to 2200 BC) debitage: flake. The flake has been removed from a larger implement/core which had a heavily patinated, and is a mottled bright brown-orange surface due to iron staining. A trace of this patination is visible along a lateral edge. The dorsal and ventral surfaces are only slightly patinated with a mottled yellow-brown colour, suggesting it has been produced through re-use. The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion with feint conchoidal ripples. The dorsal surface has a large negative scar. The flake measures 27.79mm length, 4…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable Palaeolithic (500,000 to 24,000 BC) implement: possibly a crude handaxe. The implement is knapped from a chert like flint and where it is not damaged, the surface is heavily patinated, and is a mottled bright brown-orange due to iron staining. The damage reveals a light beige, matte surface. The implements' overall original shape is difficult to determine due to more recent damage on both faces at the edge, but it is now a sub-oval, and is a sub-lozenge in the horizontal section.
One face has a patch of unworked surface which looks abraded and is the original surface. Th…

County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable Lower Palaeolithic (500,000 to 40,000 BC) implement: handaxe. The axe is knapped from flint which is heavily patinated, and is a mottled bright brown-orange due to iron staining. The axe is incomplete or fragmentary, and the break is across the section revealing a sub-triangular section. The break is not too recent, but does have a mottled light yellow/beige colour. The implements' overall original shape is difficult to determine, but what remains is triangular. The axe is bifacially flaked with rolled edges. The flakes vary in size but reveal conchoidal ripples.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint possible arrowhead. The arrowhead is a sub drop shape in plan and has a white patina, and has been burnt forming a crazed surface. The ventral face is slightly convex. There is no obvious bulb of percussion. The edges has small negative scars of re-touch. The centre of this surface has not been flaked. The dorsal surface, in profile is more convex than the dorsal surface. At the apex there is a patch of cortex remaining. The edges has re-touch scars. The object weighs 5.3g and measures 29.51mm long, 21.3mm wide and 9.94mm thick.
The shape in plan and re-touch sugge…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three knapped flint flakes. The flakes are trapezoidal and triangular in section. Two have developed a white patina, and the third has a mottled blue/grey patina. Two have recent breaks revealing a dark grey coloured flint. The third is also broken, but the patina covers this break suggesting it was not broken recently. None have cortex remaining. Together they weigh 2.9g.
The flakes are likely to be prehistoric dating to the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods ( (c. -3500 to c. -1500).

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two possibly knapped flint flakes or debitage. The debitage both have fire-fractured surfaces, and only one has a large area of cortex remaining. Both have negative flake scars. Together they weigh 15.1g.
The flakes are possibly dated to the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods ( (c. -3500 to c. -1500). The fire-fracturing may have occurred recently or in prehistory. If it occurred in prehistory there are different theories way flint was burnt and the resemblance to an arrowhead is accidental. Fire-fractured flint may have been used in cooking, for example to create steam ovens, to be cr…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable knapped flint scraper, made from a mottled mid to dark grey coloured flint. The scraper is sub-oval in plan. The dorsal surface has large negative flake scars. There is re-touch around the lower curved edge. The ventral surface has a single negative flake scar, which is particular domed in profile. This surface has conchoidal rings, bulb of percussion and the striking platform which are positioned at the 3 o’clock position with the re-touch edge is along the base. It measures 22.4mm long and 28.5mm wide. It weighs 6.3g.
