Workflow stage: Published
A flint core of probable late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. The core has a roughly semi-circular striking platform at the top and a bulb of percussion at the bottom. There are three narrow flake removal scars at the top, just below the striking platform, and a further small horizontal scar. The rest of the perimeter of the flint is unworked and it would appear that this irregularly-shaped core, which seems to have been for the production of narrow blades, was rejected fairly quickly. Portions of the cortex also remain intact. It measures 28.2mm wide by 17.2mm thick and 60.1mm hig…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A flint core of probable late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. The core has a single platform of roughly semi-circular form. It has been poorly prepared, and was probably rejected fairly quickly. The flat vertical face is still largely covered in its cortex, although some attempt has been made to remove this. The convex vertical face has three or four narrow flake removal scars which are consistent with the production of narrow blades. The surface of the flint has a light greyish blue patina. It measures 29.3mm wide by 17.2mm thick and 44.6mm high. It weighs 36.19g.

Object type: AXE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
Complete grey patinated flint axe or adze of possible Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date (7000 BC – 3000 BC). Length 93mm, width 40.5mm and 25mm thick. Weight 95.44g. The implement has three faces and is sub-triangular in cross-section. The widest of these faces has a slight ridge along the longitudinal axis. Each face is “chipped” overall. As viewed in plan, it has a pointed butt and a curved cutting edge, one side of which has a transverse flake scar. The sides are convex in profile. There are small areas of iron staining on each face.

This tranchet axe is complete. It measures 120mm x 36mm x 23mm. It is made of dark and light grey flint with inclusions. There are two areas with cortex remaining. Two stages of flaking are clearly visible, first at the top, or hafted, end of the axe. This flaking is bold and is the remains of the original roughing out of the artefact, which has created a triangular section. Secondly, the lower, or blade half of the axe has fine shallow flake removals obliterating the roughing out, in favour of a smooth surface. The tranchet flake removal, from which the artefact gets its name, is the …
