Object type: FLAKED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Neolithic flint axehead, measuring 148.5mm in length, 48.5mm in max. width and 29.5mm thick. The axehead has been knapped into a long and tapering shape. One terminal is slightly pointed, while the other is rounded. The knapping scars are multi-directional, but mostly extend downwards and outwards from the centre, forming a high central ridge on one face, while the other is slightly flatter. The edges of the axe have some areas of retouch, and some evidence of damage. The light grey flint is heavily patinated with iron staining.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
A Neolithic polished flint axehead with retouch and post-depositional damage. The axehead has a pointed oval to almost lozenge shaped cross section. A lot of the polished surface has been removed by retouch and small amounts of damage. The polished surface survives predominantly along the centre of both sides which then extends, flaring into a fan shape, to cover all of the blade end. Retouch is present along both edges of both sides of the axehead and around both sides of the butt end giving the appearance of an axe rough-out with only partial polish. Small irregular shaped areas of …

Record ID: CAM-8C5549
Object type: FLAKED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Flaked flint axehead, bifacially worked to produce an asymmetric sub-lozenge shaped cross-section. Significant amounts of recortication has occurred on this secondary peiece of flint, cortex remaining over the majority of the butt end. The presence of one small cavity is visible on the surface. This oval cavity measures 3.2mm x 2.4mm. Some battering on edges and on cutting edge. While this object could be a 'preform' which was intended to be polished the less perscriptive term 'Flaked Axe' is prefered. Probably Neolithic. Weight 191.44g, Length 106.6mm, Width 51.8mm, Thickness 29.6mm.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
An arrowhead, formed from tertiary flint, that is either barbed and tanged with the barbs having broken off or was originally a leaf shaped arrowhead that has been reworked to have a tang at the middle of the lower edge. The arrowhead is bifacially worked with covering low angle parallel retouch on the ventral side. The other side has long to invasive low angle scaled retouch. The arefact has recorticated although this has been removed at the base of the arrowhead around the tang. It is uncertain whether this is a result of reworking or later depositional damage. Weight is 1.70g, leng…
