Record ID: BERK-AC5646
Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A probable Middle Palaeolithic handaxe. The handaxe is incomplete and was probably broken during manufacture or use, while one small area of more modern damage is evident. The handaxe is bifacially retouched, and a creamy grey core is covered by a thick orange patina, suggesting a gravel bed context or source, such as those known from Cassington, Oxon. The Devensian period at Cassington is well attested from evidence gained during gravel extractions. The period here dates from c.75,000BC to 35,000BC but this find is likely to have been redeposited from an earlier layer. The handaxe me…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A incomplete late Neolithic / Bronze Age tanged and barbed arrowhead. The arrowhead is long and slender having been finely worked bifacially. The tang is pointed and again worked bifacially. The tip of the arrowhead is missing but otherwise it is a very well made and well preserved object with no indication of post-depositional damage. Arrowheads of this type are not a common find; those more often found are usually short and squat.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A frgament from a Neolithic polished flint axehead dating from c.4000-2100 BC. Polished axes are very labour intensive and are thought to have held high value during this period. Polished axes were traded throughout Britain and Western Europe. In this example only the tip survives. The flint is covered in thick white patina suggesting a chalk downland source. It measures 43.79mm long, 42.43mm wide and is 22.84mm thick. It weighs 39.8 gms.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire

A flint flake with deep secondary reworking along one edge. The reworking extends to the middle of the ventral surface. This is a ?scraper or a fragment of a larger tool. From the invasiveness of the reworking I suspect it is Bronze Age.
