Record ID: SUR-840212
Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead struck from a brown flint. The arrowhead is broadly "kite" shaped with symmetrical convex sides (cf. Butler (2005), p 123, Type 2C) and bifacially worked. The dorsal face has long, low-angle covering pressure-flaked retouch and the ventral face has patches of long, low angle intrusive parallel retouch at either end. The cross section is plano convex with the ventral surface being slightly flatter than the dorsal surface. The butt end is incomplete.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete polished flint axehead, dating to c.4000-2350 BC. The axehead is made from a light brown flint. Only the front portion remains; this has a curved cutting edge which has been polished.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Core rejuvenation blade, most likely to be of Neolithic date (c. 4000-2500BC). Made of flint. Length = 79.0mm; width = 28.0mm; thickness – 15.0mm; weight = 25.3g. The blade is struck from a blade core with the intention to refresh the striking platform of the core to enable further blades to be removed from it. Blades from such a core could have been retouched and made into scrapers, knives, or other tools.

Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete small tranchet adze, made from a larger thermal (frost/”potlid”) fracture of flint, the ventral face (the flatter of the two) carries the remnants of the interior face of this natural fracture, this area is unworked and is patinated slightly more orange/yellow than the knapped surfaces. The butt of the adze is relatively unpatinated, with a tiny patch of cortex extant to the very tip of the butt, the rest of the dorsal cortex is completely removed by flaking, this face shows the flint to have originally been mid-grey, the other parts of the adze are now patinated a…
