Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic secondary blade of mottled grey flint with some small areas of spotty iron staining, apparently struck from a bi-polar core. Both lateral edges are erratically retouched and worn and the distal end is transversely truncated by steep retouch. The tiny platform and bulb of percussion are probably soft hammer struck, though slightly obscured by a small adhering flange of flint. 61.5 x 25 x 8mm.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Neath Port Talbot
Workflow stage: Published
Neolithic polished stone axehead, dating from c. 4000 - 2500BC The axe is complete but may have a reworked butt and may originally have been longer (with a length of 124.5mm and a weight of 667g). The axe has been pecked to shape with selective polishing, principally along the blade. The oval butt (45mm wide and 32mm thick) is flat but is bevelled from one face to the other and is coarser than the faces, appearing less finished. The sides of the axe are straight and gradually divergent to the blade edge (with a blade width of 83.2mm). The axe has an oval body section (with a maximu…
