Object type: PICK
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint pick of Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date (6500 BC - 2900 BC). Length: 128.2mm; width: 45.5mm; thickness: 37.1mm; weight: 252.56g. 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 are roughly parallel and then taper near the bottom towards the cutting edge which has been achieved by very large flake removals on two of the opposite faces. In side view, the pick is widest at the butt end …

An incomplete flint scraper of probable Early Neolithic date (3500 BC - 2900 BC). Length: 59.2mm; width: 6.1mm; thickness: 15.4mm; weight: 65.87g. The implement has been produced on a large flake and the ventral surface has a large bulb of percussion with ripples that are barely visible.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete Mid-Late Neolithic (2900-2100BC) chipped and polished flint axehead. The blade end of the axe is complete while the butt end is missing, the general shape and size suggests about a half of the original length remains. The axehead is pointed oval in section, 96.3mm long, 67.5mm wide and 29.9mm thick; it weighs 220 grams. The curved cutting edge is the widest point from which both sides taper gradually towards the butt. Both sides of the axe show chipping, polishing and possibly pecking. Polishing appears to be concentrated at the blade end with the area towards the break alm…

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Palaeolithic Acheulian handaxe of ficron type with a long tapering point and large, partially worked, butt. The point is formed with invasive shallow flaking and is pointed oval in cross section. There are small areas of natural cortex remaining on one side. The point widens and thickens to the large lozenge shaped butt. The widening is a fairly consistant taper down the ficron but the thickness tapers gradually at first before stepping out more steeply half of the way down. The butt is large with some long, shallow flake removals on two sides and the base; the base also has areas of h…

An incomplete barbed and tanged flint arrowhead of Early Bronze Age date (2150 BC - 1500 BC). Length: 23.3mm; width: 17.2mm; thickness: 3.6mm; weight: 1.43g. This light greyish buff flint arrowhead is slightly convex on both faces and has been pressure flaked on all surfaces. The extreme tip and both barbs are missing due to breaks. The arrowhead is similar to the group described within Butler (who is summarising Green's': Flint Arrowheads of the British Isles') and is best described as a fancy barbed and tanged arrowhead. See Butler 2005, 'Prehistoric Flintwork'. 162-65.

Record ID: NMS-CF8430
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
An Upper Paleolithic blade, 119mm in length. This is a thick, high-backed blade with an abrupt end, which suggests that it may come from a two platform core. The striking platform is heavily abraded. In profile the blade is curved. The whole is patinated a chalky buff, with iron staining on the ventral face. There is some ventral edge damage or post-patination retouch on the left edge. It is likely to be very late in date, from around 28,000-9,000 BC.

A Neolithic polished axehead, measuring 180 x 68 x 30mm. This has been resubmitted for recording, and was apparently found 'about 30 years ago', though is has been previously recorded as being found around 1969. The axe is highly polished flint, with only a few shallow flaking scars. It is undamaged and has a rounded and still sharp cutting edge at its broadest point, a narrow rounded butt with a slight facet and facetted lateral edges. The whole surface is stained brown with a few coarse-grained inclusions are visible as greyer areas. It is probably Late Neolithic, dating from around…
