Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Part Polished Flint Axe. Elongated, sub-trapezoidal plan with a thin lenticular cross section, of unpatinated black flint with a few paler, coarse inclusions, these inclusions have been worked confidently and have not caused any flakes to terminate in hinges. The cutting edge is the widest point, both lateral edges are left as knapped and are not abraded to aid with hafting, the sides narrow gently to a thin narrow butt. The ground and polished surfaces are confined to the cutting edge and the immediate high points of the flake scars, the remaining surfaces are invasively kn…

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large retouched flint flake of probable Neolithic date. It is triangular in shape and is dark grey in colour and lightly patinated. A small amount of cortex remains on the distal end of the ventral face. The dorsal surface is more highly patinated and also has damage caused by a plough striking the face. The dorsal surface also shows evidence of the removal of flakes from this face in various directions, probably in an attempt to flatten the face. The ventral surface shows concoidal ripples extending down the surface from the pointed end where there is evidence of a point and bulb o…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic knapped flint flake, probably a core rejuvination flake. The ventral surface has impact ripples along its length, until approximately half way where there is a step termination across the flake. The dorsal surface has four parallel ridges where bladelets or flakes have been removed. The distal end is curved, however there is no evidence for retouch. it is 36.39mm long, 31.64mm wide, 12.01mm thick and weighs 14.59 grams.

A Mesolithic to Paleolithic flint scraper, dating 8300-2100 BC. The flint is a mottled mid-dark grey. There is an evident striking platform at one end with marks of a conchoidal fracture on both sides. The proximal end appears to have been damaged in more recent years.
