Object type: ADZE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic adze or chisel. This tool has roughly parallel sides with a narrowed butt end. The cutting edge is flatter and more narrow than the rest of the body. A core tool, this artefact shows roughed-out reduction along the bifacial plane and some finishing retouch along the bilateral edges. The adze or chisel is lenticular in section and retains a small percentage of cortex on the dorsal surfaces. Some recortication may be developing. This adze or chisel measures 152.43mm in length, 35.57mm in width and is 29.83mm thick. It weighs 201.7gms.

An early Neolithic end scraper made on a snapped secondary flake or blade. Retouch is present around the curved edge of the scraper on the dorsal side and an area of retouch on the ventral surface is small and contained to three seperate removals. The retained cortex may have aided grip during use. This end scraper measures 27.9mm long, 15.9mm wide and is 7.2mm thick. It weighs 3.6gms.

A chisel-type arrowhead, sub-triangular in form made on a tertiary flake. Retouch is present on both dorsal and ventral sides along the lateral edges only. The flint is a light grey in colour and displays some whiter patches of patination. This arrowhead probably dates to the early Neolithic period. The arrowhead measures 34.5mm long, 36mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 3.7gms.

A Neolithic tool, probably a side scraper of early Neolithic date. The tool is made on a secondary flake and retians c.35% cortex. The tool has been retouched bifacially along one edge. A hinge fracture can be sen at the proximal end, while the distal tip ends abruptly. The flint is semi-translucent, brown in colour with a creamy-white cortex. It is semi-circular in profile. The tool measures 35.7mm long, 24.8mm wide, 8.4mm thick and weighs 6.9gms.

Object type: MACE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible flint pebble mace head dating from the Neolithic period. The central hole is straight rather than hour-glass shaped - the use of a bow drill (a laborious task through flint) would produce a straight perforation, but this may also be a pebble with a natural hole; if found objects with naturally occurring perforations were utilised by prehistoric man. The nose or tip of the possible mace head shows limited evidence of impact. This possible mace head measures 66.13mm long, 57.81mm wide and is 34.47mm deep. The hole is 20.20mm in diameter and the object weighs 198.5gms.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A frgament from a Neolithic polished flint axehead dating from c.4000-2100 BC. Polished axes are very labour intensive and are thought to have held high value during this period. Polished axes were traded throughout Britain and Western Europe. In this example only the tip survives. The flint is covered in thick white patina suggesting a chalk downland source. It measures 43.79mm long, 42.43mm wide and is 22.84mm thick. It weighs 39.8 gms.

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small quartzite hammerstone, roughly round in shape with two distinct impact points and several smaller areas of impact. The outer cortex has been battered and has flaked to reveal the inner grey-blue stone. Hammerstones are hard to date on their own, but this artefact is part of a small assemblage of late Mesolithic / Neolithic flint tools so probably dates from this period. The hammerstone measures 39.78mm in diameter and weighs 77.6gms.
