A fragment of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. The arrowhead has been pressure flaked and invasively retouched on both sides to create a thin bi-convex lenticular cross-section. The original shape of the barb ends looks to have been square. The triangular tip and a large part of the tang are missing leaving around 70% of the arrowhead intact; a fact which precludes full classification of the piece. Similar arrowheads are shown in Butler.C; Prehistoric Flintwork (2005) p162-165 and are dated to circa 2500-1500 BC.

A Neolithic flint tool, possibly an end scraper (see comment in notes below). The tool may be fashioned on a thermal flake. It is sub plano-convex in section and piriform in plan. Similar scrapers are shown in Butler C. Prehistoric flintwork (2005) p126-128 and are dated to the Neolithic period circa 3500-2100 BC.

A Prehistoric flint flake (probably Mesolithic – Neolithic 8,300-2,100BC). The flake is tertiary with no cortex remaining. The end is broken and there is some damage to the central face that obscures the flake removal scars. There is possibly some find retouch, worked unifacially, along the left edge but this may have been caused by crushing. Pale-mid grey mottled flint with an opaque patina. Dimensions: length: 21.11mm; width: 15.65mm; thickness: 4.47mm; weight: 1.25g.

A flint blade dating from the early Neolithic period (c.4000-3000 BC). The blade is made on a secondary flake of a dark grey, semi-translucent flint. The distal end retains approximately 20% brown-white cortex.

A collection of three poorly-executed flint scraper, dating from the Early to Middle Bronze Age. Two are made on secondary flakes while the third is made on a tertiary flake. All have hard hammer retouching at the dorsal distal end and some limited retouch down at least one lateral. The larger flake, or really a chunk, is the most crudely manufactured of the three. These objects are part of a larger collection from what appears to be a multiphase site.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A collection of three end-scrapers, dating to the Mesolithic period. Two of the scrapers are complete while a third is truncated. All three are made on secondary flakes and all have steep soft hammer retouching at the dorsal distal end. The colour of the flint varies from mottled blue-grey to brown. This style of scraper is usually associated with the Mesolithic period, dating from c. 10,000 - 4000 BC. These objects are part of a larger collection from what appears to be a multiphase site.

Record ID: BERK-E92BCD
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unfinished flint scraper, probably dating from the Mesolithic to Neolithic period. The scraper is made on tertiary flake, and has little soft-hammer retouch on the dorsal distal end and lateral; it has been suggested that this is a tool in production, as the retouch is not finished. It is also possible that the flake was discarded or rejected during manufacture. The colour of the flint varies from a light to mottled grey-blue. These objects are part of a larger collection from what appears to be a multiphase site.

A possible fragment of a denticulated flake, dating from the Bronze Age. The denticulate is made on a mottle blue-grey secondary flake. This object is part of a larger collection from what appears to be a multiphase site.

Object type: BORER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint borer or piercer of Neolithic date. The piercer has been fabricated on a tertiary flake of grey-brown flint. There is extensive soft hammer removals over the dorsal surface of the piercer with concentrated, parallel retouching along the left lateral where the tip of the piercer is formed. The ventral side of the tool is unworked but curved, possibly from a hinge fracture. This object is part of a larger collection from what appears to be a multiphase site.
