Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete Neolithic flint end scraper dating to c. 4000-2400 BC. The scraper is produced from a hard hammer struck secondary flake. The flint is dark grey in colour with some buff coloured cortex remaining. The sub-circular distal end has abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch used to produce a working edge. The dorsal side has a large negative scar resulting in a depression where the thumb would be placed which would allow the user to exert more pressure when in use.  Length: 66.09mm; width: 40.38mm; thickness: 18.97mm and weight: 35.9…

A complete knapped flint serrated implement of early Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 3300 BC.  The implement is a serrated blade which is D-shaped in both plan and section with a curving profile. The flint is a cream-grey colour with a few lighter inclusions. The blade is formed on a secondary flake with the dorsal surface showing negative flake scars and it has continuous notches (denticulations) along the full length of the right concave lateral edge to create a serrated surface. The left lat…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A  sub-rounded flint tool, probably an end scraper of late Neolithic/early Bronze Age date c. 3300 -1800BC. The scraper is struck from a secondary flake of black flint worked on one edge with short abrupt and semi abrupt scaled retouch. A buff coloured cortex remains on the majority of the dorsal face and the ventral face has a pronounced bulb of percussion and rippling suggesting hard hammer working. Measurements: 38.23mm Long; 33.85mm wide; 13.86mm thick. Weight 20.8g. The form is similar to a Bronze age thumbnail scraper, but it is quite large. Butler (2005): 168 n…

A complete Neolithic/ early Bronze Age sub-pyramidal single stricking platform core, dating c3300-1800 BC. Long narrow and broad flakes have been removed by probably unidirectional working from the broad flat striking platform. One side has the cortex remaining. The formation of patina had begun, producing a pale grey surface with a few spots of iron staining on most sides.  It has been battered along its edges, leaving a series of edge-on impact chips to reveal the underlying tint of dark grey flint.  Measurements: 39.32mm long; 41.6…

An incomplete late Neolithic polished and flaked axehead dating c.3300-2200 BC. Only the butt end survives. The axe appears to have been reworked with most of the polishing surface removed, the grinding and polishing is restricted to the lateral edges (rounded) and to the high points of the flake scars. The axehead is worked from a dark and pale grey patinated flint with a few spots of iron staining to both faces, the cutting edge has broken in antiquity and an attempt at reshaping the edge has been roughly knapped at the break. A small portion of the cortex r…

Bifacially struck flint tool, probably abandoned before completion. Struck on a lingulate-shaped secondary flint with a strip of cortex remaining down the length of the dorsal face. There are multiple lateral strikes on both faces but only the dorsal face has been struck with removals at the distal end. Several of the lateral strikes on the ventral face have terminated prematurely in hinge and step fractures which in all likelihood made the intended tool unrecoverable. Probably intended to be a knife. Most likely Neolithic in date.  Length 95mm, width 29m…

A complete probable flint or cobble hammerstone of uncertain prehistoric date (c. 4000-700 BC). Description: The object is roughly cylindrical and shaped with a smooth flint-like slightly broader end, which suggests the hand-held part. There is extensive crushing across much of its opposite end of the cylinder surface and on the sides towards the same end of the cylindrical form, suggesting it's possible use as a hammerstone. Although parts of the stone have the smooth appearance of flint, there is much pitting and coarse particles which make up the whole. Measurements: 68.…
