Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint possible microlith. It is a narrow blade which is triangular in section and rectangular in plan. There is abrupt retouch at the distal end. This interrupts the milky patina to reveal translucent grey flint. The patina is also damaged at the proximal end but does not appear to be worked.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a Neolithic flint axehead (3500 BC-2100 BC). This fragment is the butt end of a slender axehead. It has been bi-facially knapped. In plan, the butt is semi-circular and the sides flare outwards and downwards towards an oblique break. However, the sides are almost parallel. In side view, it is sub-triangular, pointed at the top and is pointed-oval in cross-section. The arrises are sharp although most are not very pronounced. The patination is grey with mottled off-white areas and has some iron staining, mainly along the arrises. The break is old and the colour of the …

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of worked dark bronwn coloured flint. On one side is a bulb of percussion, on the opposite side are three longitudinal facets where blades have been removed. This is a discarded fragment rather than a completed working tool in its own right, but is evidence of some flint working of Late Mesolithic to early Neolitic date in the area.

Object type: PICK
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Neolithic flint pick. Dimensions 416 x 66 x 49mm. Brown staining over dark grey / black flint. Rhombic section with sharp ridge on one face, largely formed by a natural cleavage plane (ancient frost fracture), the other face flaked entirely with a more rounded medial ridge. The dark brown patination suggests a probable peaty deposition, there is a trace of concretion on one face, most likely an accumulation of iron oxides and grit. All flake scars appear to be fairly hard hammer struck with some removals exhibiting a deep negative bulbs of percussion. At one end an impact ha…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Early Neolithic flint end-scraper manufactured on a short secondary 'blade' (3500 BC-2900 BC). The implement is an elongated and sub-oval in plan, sub-triangular in cross-section. The dorsal surface has two negative blade removals and about 40% of the surface is buff cortex. It has been trimmed irregularly around the edges on this face. There are multiple striking scars at the proximal end. The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion at the proximal end with associated ripples and a hinge fracture at the distal end. This flint is grey tinged with red. It is glossy, p…

A complete Early Neolithic flint end-scraper manufactured on a short tertiary 'blade' (3500 BC-2900 BC). The implement is an elongated and sub-oval in plan, sub-triangular in cross-section. The dorsal surface has four negative blade removals and has been steeply worked at the distal end to produce a cutting edge. It appears to have been retouched along both edges. However, this may have been created whilst in contact with mobile sand and shingle. The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion at the proximal end. This flint is shiny and mottled grey and off-white. 51.90 x 28.52 x …

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a large flint leaf-shaped arrowhead, dating to the early Neolithic. It was pointed oval in shape but the point end has broken away with a straight break across the head slightly above the widest point and the edges are damaged in places, c.60% of the arrowhead survives. The arrowhead has shallow invasive parallel retouch on both faces with some shorter, shallow retouch near the edges. The retouch completely covers the centre of the dorsal face where there is a crack with an unretouched area in the centre of the ventral face. The butt and lower left edge (see from the dorsa…

Record ID: BERK-B80796
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper probably dating from the earlier part of the Neolithic period (c.3500-2500 BC). The scraper is quite large and has been made on a primary flake of grey-blue flint, with the dorsal surface retaining over 95% outer cortex; the cortex has been flaked away to create the scraper edge. There appears to be no or very limited retouch on the ventral side. The lack of preparation of the flake suggests the tool was made quickly for a specific purpose and may have been disposed of soon after use.
