County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete Neolithic flint leaf arrowhead (4000 BC-2350 BC). A incomplete broad leaf-shaped arrowhead formed from a thin flake. The tip is lost but what remains suggests that the object was of elongated ogival form when complete. Both sides are invasively worked and retouch around the edges of both sides are short, low angled and parallel. This arrowhead is grey and semi-translucent. It is unclear whether the tip of the arrowhead was lost in antiquity or recently. Length: 33.3mm; width: 19.2mm; thickness: 3.2mm. Weight: 2.09g.

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete Lower Palaeolithic flint handaxe of 'Crude' form (500000 BC-180000 BC). Wymer Type G. This implement has lost most of its original manufactured surface probably having been subjected to intense cold. As a result, most of the surface is uneven. In plan, it is pointed at the distal end and rounded at the proximal end. The dorsal face is humped and the ventral face is flatter. On the ventral face, at the proximal end, there is a patch of buff/off-white patina. This handaxe is grey and blends to off-white with reddish staining in places. Length: 119.61mm; width: 68…
