See below a flake assemblage with parallel flake scars on the dorsal faces suggests a probable Early Bronze Age date, though no.1, if not a fabricator could be later in date, as it is similar to middle Bronze Age rods at Grimes Graves. 1: A bifacially worked snapped 'rod' with plemtiful, steep retouch which is relatively crude along its edges. Heavily patinated and iron stined grey flint, measuring 47mm in length and 20mm in width and 13mm in thickness. 2: Small narrow blade with parallel blade scars on dorsal face. Heavily patinated length 59mm, width 13.5mm, probably Mesoli…

Record ID: CAM-8CB781
Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A cuboid flint nodule. Use if any is uncertain but the nodule could have been used as a hammerstone or some other tool. The nodule may not have been worked by man but the cuboid shape is interesting and possibly suggestive of human alteration rather than natural formation. If the nodule has been worked it is likely to have been chipped or pecked at to remove tiny angular pieces, rather than knapped which results in flakes being removed. If this object has been altered by man it is probably of Prehistoric date. This item needs to be looked at by a lithics specialist. Dimensions: 46.04m…

County: Cambridgeshire

A miniture flint axehead rejuvinated from a bigger and older Neolithic polished stone axe. The secondary knapping is of cruder quality than the original workmanship. This artefact might have been a child's toy or votive item. Although the original artefact is of Neolithic date it is not currently possible to determine a likely date for the reworking, however this is most likely to have taken place at somepoint during prehistoric periods. Dimensions: weight 56.65g, length 75.03mm, thickness 20.12mm, width, at widest point by cutting edge, is 44.44mm, width at narrowest end, haft end, i…

A rounded flint nodule. Use if any is uncertain but the nodule could have been used as a hammerstone or some other tool. The nodule may not have been worked by man but the surface is covered in small angular depressions very similar to those covering the surface of the object recorded on the PAS database with record number CAM-8CB781 and is slightly more suggestive of having been worked due to it's cuboid shape. If the nodule has been worked it is likely to have been chipped or pecked at to remove tiny angular pieces, rather than knapped which results in flakes being removed. If …
