Record ID: WILT-343892
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Mesolithic/ Neolithic worked and notched flake. The amount of work suggests a tool of some kind, possibly a short borer? It measures 59.6x28.5x8mm and weighs 14.76g.
The entire right dorsal edge has abrupt working, up to the proximal end which has a slight point extending. The upper left dorsal edge has a wide notch, semi-abruptly tooled. The lower left dorsal edge has a little light low working. the lower left ventral edge has additional low working, and semi abrupt working on the upper right edge behind the notch.
The flint is light grey in colour with c.20% light patination.

Record ID: WAW-45C1E3
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete probable knapped mottled light to mid matte brown flint or chert scraper. The scraper is sub-oval in plan. The dorsal surface has two large, parallel negative flake scars with re-touching along the lower rounded edge. The ventral surface has a single negative flake scar which is convex, but due to a recent break the bulb of percussion and striking platform are missing. It measures 32.65mm long and 37.34mm wide. It weighs 12.5g.
The scraper is probably prehistoric, possibly dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age (-3500 to -1500).

Record ID: BH-8827F7
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of probable Neolithic date. This implement is very simple in form, having been made from a large flake.
The flake is sub-circular in plan, has a convex upper surface and a flat underside. The upper surface retains much of the original cortex, the only exception being where the limited re-touching has occurred at one end, where the removal of six or seven narrow flakes has created a crude scraping edge. Interestingly, the level of patination on the underside of the tool suggests that this flake was of considerable antiquity when it was selected for use as a tool; in f…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic or Bronze Age flake, measuring 30.8x17.2x5.2mm and weighing 2.32g.
The lower left dorsal edge has possible semi-abrubt working. However around all other edges there is damage, showing the same colour beneath the patination as the 'working'.
The flint is 70% patinated, and the filnt beneath a buff colour.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic or Bronze Age flake, measuring 34.5x21.5x6.6mm and weighing 4.74g.
The lower left dorsal edge has abrubt working at the proximal end. There appears to be two notches on the upper right and upper left edges, possible caused by being knocked, although there are some signs they have been worked intentionally.
The flint is 50% patinated, and the flint beneath a dark/ buff colour.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Probably Neolithic possible blade, measuring 40.7x17.3x5.4mm and weighing 3.91g.
The distal edge is the widest part and has been worked thin with a little retouch. The right and left edges extend outwards to meet either end of this edge and have been abruptly worked on both dorsal and ventral faces. There is no retouch.
The flint is c.90% patinated with a small patch of iron staining. Retouch shows a dark grey flint beneath.

Record ID: NCL-97D4F2
Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint pendant of possible Prehistoric date, though a more Modern date cannot be ruled out.
The pendant is a drop-shaped nodule of flint with a perforation of diameter 4.14mm at the rounded end. The perforation appears to have been drilled through the flint, though some chipping is apparent around the edges of the perforation on one face. One face of the pendant is relatively flat while the other has a vertical medial ridge with faces rising to join it. The flint has only been roughly knapped on this latter face.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete (though broken into three parts 12 weeks after discovery, now glued back together again) large hollow-based flint arrowhead. All-over re-touch, off white/cream coloured flint, which appears to be the natural colour rather than patination. The form is relatively straight sided with slight splaying at barbs. The concavity of the hollow base is relatively slight. Lenght 85mm, width 37mm and thickness 9mm.
Hollow based arrow heads, although present in the early Bronze Age (circa 2500-1500 BC) contexts are rare in East Anglia. Ay other example as large as this has not …

Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Upper Palaeolithic to probable Mesolithic (40,000BC-6,500BC) flint bladelet struck from a single platform core. The edges have been retouched but modern crushing damage has prevented further observations. The flint is light brown to mid grey in colour.
The bladelet measures 45mm in length, is 20mm wide and 3mm in thickness.

Record ID: LANCUM-B11D02
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small waste flint, probably from tool knapping. The flint is quite small and of dark brown colour. The surface and edges are still crisp and seem hardly worn at all. Although there may be signs of retouch, there are no traces of patination or further working. Because of its size and doubtful origin it is classed here as waste flake or debitage.

Small waste flint, probably from tool knapping. The flint is very small and honey brown in colour. The surface is worn and it does not show any sign of patination, retouch or working and as such is classed here as waste flake or debitage.

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very regular spherical flint hammerstone with all-over, but fine, percussion scars. The regularity of this hammerstine is unusual but it is presumably still later prehistoric in date (4000-100 BC). Diameter 60.5-62.5mm and weight is 323g.

County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic polished flint axe. The axe is 152.2mm long, 62.6mm wide and 28mm thick. It weighs 338g. The axe is a tapering sub-rectangular shape and is ovoid in section with a flat facet at each end of the oval. The curved cutting edge is in good condition but there is some damage to the narrow end and a little of the end is missing. The damage at the haft end appears to be post depositional, but is not very recent, as the break is patinated. The axe patination in general is variable, the variations in colour being difference in patination rather than differences in the stone. The axe…

The broken tip from a large flint 'long blade' implement. The flint is pale grey-blue in colour. The artefact has been provisionally dated to the final upper palaeolithic period (40,000 - 8,300 BC) although based on the tip of the blade alone this cannot be confirmed.
The artefact measures 33.84mm long by 17.62mm wide, is 3.55mm thick and weighs 2.16g.
