A piece of flint debitage likely dating to the Neolithic to early Bronze Age period (c.3500-3000 BC). The object is struck from a dark and light grey flint, a piece of cortex remains on one face. One edge presents shallow retouch that creates a serrated edge, suggesting the object was utilised in some way. Dimensions: Length 31.2mm; width 20.2mm; thickness 21.8mm; weight 6.58g

County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An almost complete Neolithic flint polished axehead dating c. 4000-2200 BC. The axehead has a lenticular cross section with flake removals evident on both faces, but the surface appears only partially polished. Partial polished surfaces remain on both sides, on the lower face near the cutting edge on one side; and only on a narrow strip running up the centre on the opposing face. There is battering damage on the cutting edge which is completely missing, the remaining surfaces are covered in flake removals with worn arises and red staining on both sides.&n…

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.

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.

A Neolithic end scraper struck from a secondary flake of light brown flint. The distal end is rounded with finely executed short abrupt parallel retouch defining a working edge. One side of the flake retains a large area of buff coloured cortex along its full length which effectively provides a back to the tool.

Oblique arrowhead made from a tertiary flake of fairly thick cross section, of , of glossy unpatinated grey flint with a paler, coarse inclusion to one face, one lateral edge is left as struck and sharp, the opposing side is bifacially retouched to form a point, the retouch is hard hammer struck rather than pressure flaked, the base is asymmetrically retouched in the same manner, forming a slight barb to the shaper of the two sides. The point is damaged with a long, thin flake running down the edge of the point; this is most likely from being shot and the point encountering a hard surf…

A triangular flint tool, probably a burin, borer or arrowhead dating from the late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, c. 2700-1500 BC. The tool is made made from a tertiary flake of light gray flint with a glossy patina.The flint is leaf shaped, with a sharp tapered point that widens to a more rounded blunt opposite end. It is a long oval shape in cross section.  There is a short, stepped, abrupt retouch around the point. There is a small striking platform and ripple marks running up from this and the dorsal face has a central ridge runnin…

Incomplete tiny leaf-shaped arrowhead, of Green, H. S. (1980) type 4 A, of slightly lighter patinated dark grey flint, the very tip of the base of this point is broken transversely. The dorsal face is very finely and invasively pressure flaked so some of the flake scars overlap at the centre of this face, the ventral face is hardly worked at all, just a few pressure fakes to form the point, this is probably due to the natural curvature of a struck flake; only flakes need to be removed from the curved parts as an arrowhead must be straight in profile to fly in a straight path, the …

Incomplete small biface, likely to have been a chisel, of unpatinated glossy black and dark grey flint with a small patch of whiteish cortex to the centre of one face, the biface has broken transversely in antiquity (the broken face is glossy, not matt as would be expected for a recent break), the missing end would have presumably been the primary cutting edge, the remaining butt narrows to a point. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

Nearly complete, part polished axe, of orange patinated flint, the grey spots to this face are the coarse inclusions within the flint, the other face is a lighter buff colour, probably due to the chalk or other alkali within the deposits it was lain in, the orange is usually due to exposure to iron oxides in glacial sands, this piece must have been deposited on a chalk/sand change in stratification to acquire the differential patination. The cutting edge is recently damaged on one side, this shows the original colour of the flint to have been mottled light greys. All surfaces are mod…
