Two Mesolithic (c.8300-3500 BC) flint implements. The larger flake, on the right in the photograph, is the retouched tip of a blade implement that has been broken at some point in the past. The flint measures 20.28mm in length, 16.97mm in width, is 3.51mm thick and weighs 1.56g. The smaller flake, on the left in the photograph, is a 'piercer'. There is evidence of retouching along the edges. It has been formed from a flake that was primarily a bladelet blank. The flint measures 15.71mm in length, is 13.66mm wide, has a thickness of 2.8mm and weighs 0.71g.

A barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, probably Late Neolithic in date (based on the most similar examples in Bond (2004, 147; ref. 180). One barb is broken with the point missing. The tang is relatively thick (6.9mm) and appears off centre due to a small chip. The point of the head is also snapped off.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small leaf-shaped flint arrowhead, with small amounts of iron stain forming on the dorsal side. There is some patina on the right side of the dorsal side. On the ventral side there is a completely flat face; there are three clear faces on the dorsal. The point is broken off and there is a small chip in the left cutting edge, when looking at the dorsal face. The very deliberate leaf shape leads to the conclusion that this is an arrowhead rather than a microlith, and the date of Later Neolithic is suggested by a similar example, albeit more damaged, in Bond (2004, 142; ref. F140).

A collection of forty-eight (48) core rejuvination flakes of various sizes, dating to the Neolithic period. The majority show surface removals, but none have been retouched for use as either formal or non-formal tools. The majority of the flakes are covered with a white patina covering a blue-grey core, suggesting that the raw material originated from chalk downlands. The closest source is a few miles to the southeast (towards the Ridgeway). Weights vary from 0.7gms to 7.6gms.

The flint probably derives from chalk downlands, the closest source being towards the Ridgeway in the southeast. The saw is 54.27mm in length, 21.4mm wide and 6.4mm thick. It weighs 7.2gms and dates to the Neolithic period, possibly the middle Neolithic.

There is further restricted pressure flaking on one lateral of the ventral side, otherwise there is no secondary working. The distal end of the blade is broken and missing, but this appears to have happened in antiquity as the patina at the break is the same as that covering the rest of the flint.

The rings of percussion are evident on the ventral surface and a slight hinge fracture mirror is evident. No platform is visible. This is very hard to date without any technological distinctions evident so it could be prehistoric, but could quite easily also be quite modern and may not, necessarily, be man made, although it could have been struck by machinery.

A flint flake fragment with extensive edge damage. Although this flake looks a bit like the beginnings of a tanged and barbed arrowhead, its condition and construction suggest that it has actually been produced and used as a gun flint, therefore dating to the Post-medieval period.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A collection of 22 flint flakes, from core trimming and / or tool preparation and production. None of these flakes show any sign of reworking (retouching). The flake technology employed suggests a date between the Late Neolithic (c.2500-2100 BC) through into the Bronze Age (c. 2100-800 BC), when generally flint working skills rapidly declined. This assemblage weighs a total of 82.4gms.

Four fragments of flint debitage. The group consists of three smaller pieces of mid-grey flint and one large flake. The flake is secondary with a large area of cortex remaining on the dorsal face and a pronounced buld of percussion on the ventral face. The flake is possibly burnt, but could just be heavily patinated. It bears no sign of secondary retouch and is a core trimming flake. The three smaller pieces are waste/debitage flakes, one severely broken with some possible edge use, the other two smaller flakes are whole flakes, one patinated, one fresh. These pieces are either co…

A core tool, this artefact shows roughed-out reduction along the bifacial plane and some finishing retouch along the bilateral edges. The adze or chisel is lenticular in section and retains a small percentage of cortex on the dorsal surfaces. Some recortication may be developing. This adze or chisel measures 152.43mm in length, 35.57mm in width and is 29.83mm thick. It weighs 201.7gms.

An early Neolithic end scraper made on a snapped secondary flake or blade. Retouch is present around the curved edge of the scraper on the dorsal side and an area of retouch on the ventral surface is small and contained to three seperate removals. The retained cortex may have aided grip during use. This end scraper measures 27.9mm long, 15.9mm wide and is 7.2mm thick. It weighs 3.6gms.

A chisel-type arrowhead, sub-triangular in form made on a tertiary flake. Retouch is present on both dorsal and ventral sides along the lateral edges only. The flint is a light grey in colour and displays some whiter patches of patination. This arrowhead probably dates to the early Neolithic period. The arrowhead measures 34.5mm long, 36mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 3.7gms.

A Neolithic tool, probably a side scraper of early Neolithic date. The tool is made on a secondary flake and retians c.35% cortex. The tool has been retouched bifacially along one edge. A hinge fracture can be sen at the proximal end, while the distal tip ends abruptly. The flint is semi-translucent, brown in colour with a creamy-white cortex. It is semi-circular in profile. The tool measures 35.7mm long, 24.8mm wide, 8.4mm thick and weighs 6.9gms.

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.
