Record ID: BERK-2FA352
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.
