Record ID: SUR-E67C13
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint axehead of Neolithic date, 133mm in length, struck from a mottled grey flint and bifacially worked. The axehead is symmetrical on two axes and has a lenticular cross section, flaring smoothly to a rounded cutting edge 58.7mm wide. There is a large area of damage to the front edge which may be post depositional in origin. There are no areas of polishing. A patch of white cortex is retained at the centre of one face.

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake of suggested middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age date c. 3300-1000 BC.  The secondary flake is elongated and sub-triangular in plan and cross-section; a small section of cortex surviving at the distal edge which has a chip at the terminal with fresh breaks suggesting more recent damage. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a pronounced bulb of percussion and raised rippling suggested hard hammer working. The dorsal surface has five removal scars with crude removals at the proximal end, possibly damage, but some finer …

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete end scraper of conventional form; made from a secondary, hard hammer struck flake of glossy black flint with some inclusions, steeply retouched at the distal end to form the semi-circular scraping edge, small patch of sandy coloured thin cortex extant to one lateral side, showing the outside curve of the flint nodule this was struck from. A very useful tool in the initial preparation of fresh hides for tanning, effective in removing the subcutaneous fat from just below the surface of the skin. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

An incomplete worked flint knife of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c.4500-1500BC) Description: The object is broadly triangular in plan and trapezoid in cross section. It has been produced from a tertiary flake of translucent light brown flint. The mesal curve equally to form a point at the distal end but there is a clean break across the object so the proximal end is missing. One face is slightly flatter and has invasive, sub-parallel, low angle retouch. The other face is slightly convex and has covering,scaled, low angle retouch. Measurements: Leng…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Neolithic endscraper dating to c. 4000-2400 BC. The end scraper is made from a tertiary flake of flint that is a matte light brown sometimes semi-glossy medium brown semi-translucent flint. It is broadly recyangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross section the ventral surface being wider than the dorsal surface. It has at least three earlier flake removal scars on the dorsal surface struck in the same direction as the scraper. Its distal end has medium length, semi-abrupt, parallel retouch across its length. No retouch exists on the ventral surface altho…

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC. The object is formed from a tertiary flake which is sub-ovate in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is flat and smooth. Short, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch is present along the curved edge and into each side of the dorsal surface. The flint is a light white colour with grey inclusions. The implement is 28.4mm long, 19.6mm wide, 10.8mm thick and weighs 5.7g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are generally less chronologically distinctive than other artefact types.…

A group of flakes from knapping debris dating to the late Mesolithic to early Neolithic period (c.8000-3300 BC). The group consists of 43 blades and flakes of flint of various raw materials, and three blades of chert, most likely originating from the Pennines. These objects are part of a collection of flints that have been recovered from three fields over a number of decades. The group includes arrowheads and flakes demonstrating the different phases of flint working. Objects from this group are recorded under the following PAS records: LVPL-F9B243; …
