Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint retouched flake ulitised as a side scraper of probable Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (c. 4000 - 1000 BC). The flake appears to be natural and exhibits no bulb of percussion or conchoidal ripple marks. There is short scaled semi-abrupt retouch running the length of both mesal edges. The flint shades mid-light grey in colour and retains approximately 20% cortex. The scraper measures 55.49mm in length, 47.72mm in width, is 20.79mm thick and weighs 54.27g.

A flint Neolithic ground and polished axehead broken and utilised as a core dating to the period c. 4000 - 2350 BC. The axehead can be classified as a Field Type C and is lenticular in cross-section with facetted sides. The axehead appears to have been heavily polished on all sides, with no remaining flake removal scars visible from the original manufacture. The butt end of the axehead is missing due to old breaks, possibly during use. The axehead appears to have then been discarded and subsequently reused as a core for the production of flakes and blades. Flakes have been removed fro…
