A complete flint pick of Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date (c. 6500 BC – c. 2900 BC). Length 161.3mm, maximum width 61.3mm and maximum thickness 43.2mm. Weight 410.0g. This pick, like other similar implements found in the Isle of Wight, is characteristically hump-backed. In plan, from the centre, the width generally narrows towards the butt and widens towards the cutting edge. It is sub-triangular in cross-section forming three main faces. Flaking covers the whole of each face and just a small area of cortex is present on the crest where two of the faces abut. The cutting …

Slightly brown stained unpolished flaked axehead with a modern chip showing a grey flint core. Slightly plano-convex in form with all-over working could be of Mesolithic or Neolithic date.

Workflow stage: Published
A small tranchet axe made from a large flake, 89.2mm long, 46.8mm wide and 25.9mm thick. The implement is made of dark brown flint with numerous lighter and darker cherty inclusions; about 5% cortext remains. The upper, dorsal face, has multiple arrises; at least 7 flakes had previously been removed from the core but later retouching and possible flaking from use makes an exact count difficult. The ventral, lower face, has two large facets with again multiple scars from retouching and damage; these have removed the bulb of percussion/bulb scar. The visible bulb scars and percussion wa…

A complete flint pick of Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date (6500 BC - 2900 BC). Length: 121.8mm; width: 46.2mm and 35.8mm thick. Weight: 247.54g. This pick has been knapped overall except for a small area at one side of the butt where a creamy coloured cortex is present. It is characteristically hump-backed and is an elongated sub-oval shape in plan. In plan, the sides flare outwards slightly towards the cutting edge which has been achieved by crude radial flaking on the dorsal face. The rear face of the cutting edge does not have a transverse flake removal. In side view, the p…

Flint axe. Probable tranchet axe of Late Mesolithic date. Long, oval flaked axe with an oval cross section. Off-white flint with a heavy patina and orange iron staining. This object was unearthed many years ago and has been curated by the owners, hence its yellow-brown "mantlepiece" patina. The butt of the axe is tapered almost to a point. The axe is extensively flaked along both edges. The flakes are broad. The cutting edge is formed by similar broad flaking. The diagnostic transverse flake of a tranchet axe has been obscured by subsequent flaking or re-working. However, the overall …

Knapped flint implement. In shape and forming technique it appears similar Mesolithic - Early Neolithic picks although it is much smaller. It is also similar to the Mesolithic tooks known as fabricators and it was probably used to dig small holes or to work wood. It is 67.4mm long, 25.3mm wide, 16.3mm thick and weighs 29.7 grams. The implement was produced from a much larger flake that has been extensively reworked, possibly several times. There is extensive blunting, low angle, stepped retouch at the proximal end, extending two fifths of the way down the sides. The distal half has b…
