Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A lower palaeolithic handaxe, dating from c. 476,000 - 421,000 BC. The handaxe has been made of a flint nodule that has a greyish-white outer colouring, likely to be from a chalk downlands source. Dating from the Anglian phase of the Lower Palaeolithic, c. 478,000 to 423,000 years ago, the hand axe has bifacial removals made using a hard hammer, such as another stone. Although the hand axe has some post-depositional damage and iron staining, it survives in very good condition. Based on the location of discovery this hand axe probably derived from the Caversham Channel, an ancient rout…

A Neolithic flint axe fragment, polished, consisting of the lower part of body and cutting edge. Patina is white with greyish blue interior. Irregular truncation (unpatinated), probably quite recent; Lenticular in cross section with convex cutting edge. Dates to the period -4000 - to -2500 BC. The width at the truncation is 46.95mm and the thickness of 14.82mm was taken at the mid-point. Other measurements shown below.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but slightly damaged struck flint end and side scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is broadly D-shaped in pland and section and is formed on a tertiary flake of mottled light and dark grey flint; flake scars on the dorsal surface show previous removals. The platform has suffered post-depositional (weathering) damage and most of the bulb scar has been removed / is missing, however the percussion lines are retained on the ventral side. The dorsal surface bares soft-hammer retouch along c.60% of the left lateral, irregularly around t…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete struck flint horseshoe scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is broad and sub-rectangular in plan and sub-oval shape in profile with a D-shaped section. The scraper is formed on a tertiary flake of dark grey flint with the nose of the scaper located at the ventral end. The platform has therefore been removed however percussion lines are evident on the ventral surface. There is also a hinge-like fracture at the distal end. The dorsal surface bares invasive, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch around the curved lateral and proximal edges; th…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint barbed and tanged arrow head dating to the period c2700 - 1600 BC. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in shape with convex sides. The tang is longer than the barbs which are both complete, but one is shorter than the other. It is made on a flake and extensively retouched. This retouch is invasive on both faces. The flint is light brown to yellow, and is opaque around the edges.

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.

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.
