Record ID: OXON-B26565
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end-scraper of probable Neolithic date (c. 4000-2500 BC). The scraper has been made on a tertiary crested blade of a mottled grey to orange brown flint. The distal end has soft-hammer retouch to the dorsal side, with some more haphazard reoutching (potentially of later date) to the left hand dorsal edge. There is also some modern damage evident.

Record ID: OXON-B22E78
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a broken polished axehead dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000-2500 BC). The flint is dark brown-orange in colour. The fragment represents a section of the left side of the near-distal end of an axehead, displaying a slight side-facet and polishing to the dorsal and ventral surfaces. Modern damage is evident towards the distal end, with possibly some modern retouching to one section of the ventral edge.

Record ID: OXON-B1DAEE
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete partially crested knife of later Neolithic date (c. 3000-2500 BC). The knife is made on a secondary flake of a pale yellow and grey flint. The knife is triangular in section with an uneven dorsal crest and flat ventral side. Multi-directional hard hammer retouching is present around nearly all of the dorsal surface. A tiny section of the platform has been retained but the bulb has been removed by one or possibly two hard blows to the ventral proximal end.

Record ID: OXON-B1B1EA
Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broken fragment of a flint core of undetermined prehistoric date (Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age, c. 10,000-1600 BC). The flint is a dark grey colour with brown mottling throughout. A small section of cortex remains. A small number of removals are evident; the fragment appears to have broken laterally. The fragment is amorphous and has modern damage.

Record ID: OXON-B15B70
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end-scraper of probable Neolithic date, although potentially late Mesolithic. The scraper has been made on a tertiary flake of a mottled dark grey flint. The proximal end and three-quarters of the left side has been invasively retouched, removing any trace of the platform and bulb. The distal end ventral side has a hinge fracture. Suggested date c. 6000-2500 BC.

Record ID: SUSS-AD2213
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete, flint, neolithic scraper or knife, 4500-2500BC. The object is a tertiary flake with a longitudinal dorsal ridge form by two larger flake scars. The proximal end of the flake has been truncated and worked on both faces to remove the bulb of percussion and also to create a chamferred edge. The long edges of the object have been retouched with short, scaled, abrupt retouch to create a tool edge. The flint is a, transluscent, dark brown in colour.

Record ID: SUSS-AC7508
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A neolithic, flint, thumb scraper, 4500-2500BC. The object is a tertiary flake, with no remaining cortex, it probably represents the distal end of a long blade that has been snapped and used to form the scraper. Along one edge there is short, abrupt, scaled retouch. The other edge has an abrupt edge and the proximal end has a sharp right angled termination from the break. It is possible that this is the broken end of a sickle blade.
