Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Swansea
Workflow stage: Published
Prehistoric notched flint flake The flake appears to be core rejuvenation flake and is cortical with remnants surviving near the distal end. Near the distal end on the opposite face is a retouched notch (13mm long). The flint is patinated pale grey and the notch appears to cut through the patination, implying secondary use of the flake.

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete Acheulian flint handaxe of the Lower Palaeolithic period (c. 480,000 BP-c. 130,000 BP). The implement is sub-oval in plan and the tip is missing, apparently as a result of gellifraction. Some material has been lost on one face near the butt end. It also has a number of hair-line fractures. It has been knapped overall and the butt is evenly rounded in plan. There is an off-centre sub-circular perforation which is a natural feature formed by the crystallisation around a former fossil sponge. On one face there is a small circular void that was also formerly occupied by a …

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
A complete Late Neolithic hollow based flint arrowhead (c. 2500 BC-c. 2100 BC). This arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan and the barbs are of equal length. In plan, one edge is slightly convex and the opposite edge is slightly concave. The base is also concave (or hollow). It has been made from a flake and the dorsal face is completely retouched over the surface. The retouch is generally finer around the edges than in the centre. The ventral face is flat at the centre with ripples that are barely visible. The edges have been retouched and the removals are semi abrupt and scaled. I…
