Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of flint debitage in the form of a blade of probable later Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 8000 - 3000 BC). The flake retains the bulb of percussion. The flake has suffered modern damage to its dorsal surface and edges; there may be some limited retouching along part of one lateral edge on the ventral side, however it is partly obscured by modern edge damage. The flint is a mottled grey to grey-brown in colour. Uncertain prehistoric date.

County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of flint debitage in the form of a blade of probable Mesolithic to early Neolithic date (c. 8000 - 3500 BC). The flake retains c.5% cortex. The platform has been removed by modern damage however part of the bulb of percussion survives. At the distal end the flake has a hinge fracture. The dorsal surface has suffered modern damage leaving fake 'scars' on its surface. The flint is a mottled grey to grey-brown in colour. Uncertain prehistoric date.

Two unretouched flint blades (production debitage) of later prehistoric date, probably Mesolithic or Neolithic (c. 8000-3000 BC). Both blades retain their bulbs of percussion, platform and show radiating fracture lines. Several previous removals, suggestive of bladelet / microlith production (Mesolithic), are visible as flake scars. One piece of debitage retains 33% cortex, the other is a tertiary piece.

A flint knapping fragment. The flint has a patchy white, opaque patina and also shows signs of exposure to heat (areas have gone white with superficial cracks). The flint has been struck but there are no areas of retouch. There is an area of cortex present that covers approximately one third of the total surface.

A lithic object that appears at firast glance to be a tanged and barbed arrowhead of Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age date (c. 2500-1800 BC), however on closer inspection this appears to be a flake, of probable Brone Age date, however without the attributes of a retouched arrowhead; either this is a beginnings of an arrowhead lost or discarded before completion or it is just a flake that resembles an arrowhead in plan.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broadly leaf-shaped flint flake formed from a grey/blue flint with thick outer calcification. The flake has not been retouched and shows scars from previous removals on the dorsal surface only. The bulb of percussion is retained. A small hinge fracture can be seen on the lower left lateral of the dorsal side. General prehistoric date but probably Neolithic - Bronze Age, c. 4000-1400 BC.

Record ID: BERK-1C51E6
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two flint debitage fragments, waste flakes from flint tool production. Both flakes are small and bladelet-like in form. The orange coloured flake retains the platform and bulb of percussion and has evidence of previous removals on its dorsal surface. The second flake, also a tertiary removal, is grey in colour and has evidence of previous removals on its dorsal side, but does not retain the platform or bulb and has suffered post-depositional damage. Although hard to date accurately, these flakes are likely to date from the Mesolithic to Neolithic period, c. 8000-2400 BC.

A flint 'plunging blade' from a double platformed core, therefore of Mesolithic or Neolithic date (c. 8000-2400 BC). There is no retouch and the overall form of the blade is uneven. The flint is heavily patinated to an off-white colour, although a small area of damage reveals a light grey core.

Two brokens flakes from flint working debris (debitage). The first is the distal end of a flake from a multi-platformed core, with the proximal end now broken and missing. This tertiary flake is a dark grey-brown in colour. The second piece is also a broken distal fragment of a flake, this time a secondary flake retaining c. 20% cortex along the right edge. This flint is a dark brown colour with creamy cortex. Both pieces are prehistoric in date with the first flake being of probable Neolithic date while the second cannot be dated more closely than Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. They …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broken fragment of a flake from flint working debris (debitage). The flake is broken at either end, so the middle part survives while the distal and proximal ends are missing. The flint is a mottled grey in colour and shows evidence of previous flake removals on its dorsal surface. This flake is later prehistoric in date but cannot be dated closer than Neolithic to Early Bonze Age.
