Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint retouched flake of Palaeolithic date. The flake has been made from a yellowy-beige flint using hard hammer percussion. The bulb and platform are visible along with some soft-hammer retouching along the left lateral edge. This piece is hard to date as its execution is generally undiagnostic, however it is potentially Palaeolithic (c. 450,000-10,000 BC).

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a polished flint axehead dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000-2500 BC). The axehead has been very badly damaged, with mechanical damage evident. The remains of the axe comprises most of the cutting edge, which is beautifully polished and still sharp, and also a length of either the dorsal or ventral side. The breaks are jagged and sharp.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A pointed flint handaxe, 108mm in length and 189.6g in weight with bifacial working and a roughly lozengiform cross section. There is short sub-parallel abrupt retouch around all edges. According to Wymer's (1999) typological series, it can be described as part of his Mode 2 technology, Type F, with a trimmed butt, straight sides and an acute point. The handaxe has a brown patina corresponding to prolonged deposition in terrace gravels. The tip has a relatively fresh break which shows a brown coloured flint typical of nodules available from paleogene clay-with-flints deposits in d…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead of Sutton Type, 30.5mm in length and dating to the early to middle Bronze Age (2400 - 1000 BC). The arrowhead is bifacial worked from pale brown flint, with covering scaled low-angle retouch. The patina is pale grey suggesting prolonged deposition in a calcareous environment. One barb has broken away and there is recent damage to both long edges.

An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age c.2500-1500 cal BC. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake of flint that is a matte white colour. Almost the entire arrowhead survives barring the tip of one barb, which is chipped off half way along its length, and the tang which is also slightly truncated. Both breaks have the same patination as the rest of the arrow indicating this occurred a long time ago, possibly before its deposition. Each surface is covered in scaled retotuch. The arrowhead is …
