Record ID: BH-D124A7
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A collection of flint flakes probably dating from the late Neolithic to middle Bronze Age. The assemblage consists of thirty four waste flakes and was collected through fieldwalking. They vary in size, from bewtween 15.2mm wide and 16.1mm high, to 42.8mm wide by 62.4mm high. They are generally broad, with a single bulb of percussion and rippling. The flint varies from a dark grey to a highly patinated white. The total weight of the assemblage is 296.5g.

Record ID: BH-D1B5D0
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 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…

Record ID: BH-D20C48
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.

Flint flake, reworked into a knife or scraper. The flint has approximately 80 percent cortex remaining on its dorsal surface, and a further 10 percent patina. Looking at the bulb of percussion on the ventral side, the strike would appear to have come from the patinated side downwards. The flake has then been retouched on all sides.

Implement made out of flint. The flint is vaguely leaf-shaped, and could possibly be a rough-out for a leaf-shaped arrowhead or a scraper. The dorsal and vertral surfaces appear to be more frost shattered than worked. One edge at the distal end shows definite signs of retouch, the other edge is dubious. There is no cortext remaining. The flint is well patinated except for the areas showing definite retouch. The flint is a dark brown colour, and the patina is creamy-blue.

Re-touched flake (having been struck from a core), dating to the Neolithic. The flake is made from grey flint and is roughly triangular in shape and section. The dorsal surface has three main facets and has some retouch down the left side where there appears to be a serated notch, probably used for cutting. The butt at the proximal end of the flint has a small section of cortex still intact and the ventral surface has a clear bulb of percussion.
The tool measures 32mm in length, 20.1mm in width and 8.7mm in thickness. It weighs 5.08g.

An assemblage of 107 good quality patinated and unpatinated lithic implements but poor quality knapping with thick and irregular flakes, occasional obture striking platforms, incipient cones of percussion and flakes on non-bulbar face struck at alternate angles. 32.8% of the unpatinated flakes have hinge fractures and 11.7% of the patinated flakes have hinge fractures. This lends support to the presence of a small probably early Bronze Age element (patinated) with the majority of the assemblage being of later Bronze Age or Iron Age date.

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 …

Small flint waste flake or chunk probably dating from the Neolithic period (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is irregular in both plan and profile.

Low oval cross section with one arrise in the dorsal. Steep bevel on the end and on both sides, with a lot of retouch along the edges. The top section appears to have been truncated when it was made, therefore the bulb of percussion has been removed from the ventral, there are also few very slight ripples running down from the top.

11 fragments of debitage most have multiple flaking scars. Examples where there is large areas of cortex still remaining on the artefact have only one-two flake scars/faces. No evidence of retouch on any of the examples.
most of the flint has a mid-dark grey patina, there is one that has a off white patina. Where The cortex remains it is a cream colour.

A polished flint axe or adze. The artefact has been made by initial knapping to rough out the shape, then grinding to produce a smooth surface. This axe is complete, though there is evidence reflaking, post polishing. The axe is roughly tear-drop shaped, without the pointed tip. Both ends of the axe are well rounded. The axe slightly tapers from the butt end, the axe is therefore wedge-shaped and oval in section. Approximately 80% of the original surface has been removed by the later reflaking. The reflaking does not appear to have affected the chamfered edges of the axe. The whole art…

Invasive bifacial retouch over the whole of the artefact resulting in an oval cross section, the retouch on the dorsal was done by pressure flaking. Rounded butt, straight narrowly tapering sides that would have terminated in a point, however, the pointed end has snapped off, which has resulted in the loss of about a quarter to a third of the artefact.
Light bluish patina, heavily white mottled. Where the artefact has broken it has exposed the light brown flint.

A polished flint axe head, dating to the neolithic period. The flint is of a pale creamy colour, although the colour of the flint is an orangey brown where the axe has been chipped. The chip marks on the axe probably relate to post-depositional damage rather than as a result of damage whilst the axe was in use. The entire body of the axe would once have been polished smooth, a finish achieved by grinding against a sandstone surface. However, much of the surface of the axe is now slightly rough to the touch, a result of post-depositional erosion of the flint. The axe measures 147 mm in …
