Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete probable Late Neolithic flint implement (2700 BC-2351 BC). This implement has been fashioned from an elongated pebble. One end has been knapped to form a sharp point and the edges at the tip have been retouched. One edge has been retouched on both faces and has short, low angle, parallel and sub-parallel removals. The other edge, retouched on one face only, has short, low angle parallel removals. The butt end is rounded. About 65% of the surface is cortex which varies in colour from off-white to orange with dark grey speckling. Length: 160.0mm; width: 48.5mm; thick…

Five worked / knapped pieces of flint debitage of later Mesolithic to early Neolithic date, circa 7000 - 3500 BC. Areas of cortex survive on all 5 pieces of debitage indicating that they are from the secondary phase of working on the core. Row 1 / column 1:- Sub square in plan and lentoid in cross section. No patination present. Flint is even mid brown / grey in colour, fine grained and translucent at the edges. Short, scaled, cross-abrupt retouch present on one of the long edges which has been abraded by movement in the plough soil. Bulb of percussion and bulbal scar present on th…

Two worked / knapped core rejuvenation flakes dating to the early Neolithic period, circa 4000 - 3500 BC. The larger core rejuvenation flake is broadly oval in plan and D-shaped in cross section. A small area of cortex indicates that the flake is from the secondary phase of working of the core. Possible area of heavy patination on the dorsal face, but more probably a flaw in the flint. The flaw or impurity of the flint would explain the removal of the flake from the rest of the core. Light speckled patination present on all the other surfaces. The flint is even mid / dark brown in …

Four worked / knapped pieces of flint debitage of early Neolithic date, circa 4000-3500 BC. No cortex present indicating that the debitage is from the tertiary phase of working of the core. Evidence of retouch on 2 of the 4 flints. Row 1 / column 1:- Broadly semi circular in plan and sub triangular in cross section. An area of light mottled blue patination on the dorsal face. The flint underneath the patination is revealed by removals surrounding the patinated area, probably caused by plough damage. The flint is even mid brown in colour, fine grained and translucent.

Three pieces of worked / knapped burnt flint dating from the later Mesolithic to early Neolithic periods, circa 7000 - 3500 BC. All of the flints are debitage which may have been used as 'pot boilers'. No cortex survives indicating that the flints are from the tertiary phase of working of the core. The surfaces of all 3 flints indicate damage caused by exposure to heat with the characteristic white-grey colour, hackled appearance and cuboid fractures of burnt flint. Column 1:- Trapezoidal in plan and lentoid in cross section. All edges damaged in antiquity. A bulb of percussion and…
