Flint conchoidal flake with smooth conchoidal fractures rippling along the ventral face away from the bulbar scar, or bulb of percussion, and similarly on the dorsal face, within the negative flake scars. There is unimarignal retouch from the proximal end, down the right edge of the dorsal face, creating a slight notch about half way along the edge. There is also unimarginal retouch down the right edge of the ventral face, creating a definite notch about half way along. These notches might have been made in preparation for knapping the flake into a leaf-shaped arrowhead, as it looks as…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint retouched notched scraper, saw or spurred piece. The flake is unimarginally retouched on the distal end, creating three notches and one spur, and on the right edge of the dorsal face. The colour of the flint is a translucent light to dark gray brown. About a third of the dorsal face is covered in cortex which suggests that this was a secondary flake. The ratio of length to breadth is about 1:1. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example of a notched saw on page 143, Fig.5.129, No.F150, and spurred pieces, Nos.F153 & F154 which are all dated to the Later Neolithic.

Flint scraper with a hinge fracture or hinge termination at the distal end of the ventral face. The dorsal face has been unimarginally retouched from the proximal end down both the right and left edges. The colour of the flint is a mottled beigey gray with litte specks of iron staining on both faces. No cortex remains on the surface of the flake, which suggests that it is a tertiary flake. The length to breadth ratio is 1:1. Andrefsky (1998), illustrates an example of a flake with a hinge termination on page 86, Fig. 5.1(c). Bond (2004) illustrates a similar type…

Flint end and sidescraper, subrectangular in plan, trapezoidal in section, and triangular and arched in profile, with sub-parallel lateral margins, unimarginal worked edges on the right edge of dorsal face, and at the distal end. The right edge has been retouched to create a cutting edge with an angle of about 80º to 90º angle and distal end has been retouched to create an angle between 50º and 60º, which makes the edge effective for scraping but not acute enough to accidentally cut or slice the material being worked. The ventral side bears a long line of parallel scarring, running…

Flint conchoidal flake with smooth conchoidal fractures rippling along the ventral face away from the bulbar scar, or bulb of percussion, and similarly on the dorsal face, within the negative flake scar. There is retouch from the proximal end, down the right edge of the dorsal face, but the denticulations down the same edge on the ventral face look more like the resultant damage. This might have then been used as a crude saw, but there is no evidence of use wear, unless that is what has caused the damage to the proximal end. The colour of the flint is a mottled mid to dark grey. …

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flaked axe (or possibly an adze). The axe dates from between circa 3000 BC to 1500 BC. The implement has been knapped into a sub-oval shape. One terminal is slightly pointed, the other is rounded. On one surface 5% of the cortex survives. A number of small patches of some sort of iron staining have adhered themselves to the surface of the flint, this could be due to the fact that the flint was found in an area which has iron rich soil, within the East Sussex Weald. The rounded butt end of the axe or adze has been finely knapped, to form a sharp and pr…

Nineteen microburins, largest length 15mm, width 10mm, thickness 3mm, smallest length 6mm, width 6mm, thickness 1mm. These are the butts of microlithis and are waste products from the manufacturing process. Most have one arise on the dorsal. All have either concave retouch on one of the corners, which would have facilitated the removal of the point from the butt, or this area is snapped without the retouch. About 70% have a light grey patina, 15% have a creamy patina and the rest have a mid grey patina. These artefacts date to the Late Mesolithic. This is part of an assemblage…

Lithic implement. Teardrop shaped in plan and sublozenge shaped in section. Hazel Martingell notes that this piece of light brown flint with cream coloured inclusions is a natural flint with pot lid fractures. However there are knapped areas. These pieces are called ‘tools of convenience’ as they are a mixture of natural and worked removals. These pieces are typical of the later prehistoric period, 1,500BC and onwards, but do continue to be used into the historic period. The piece recorded here was probably used as a pick or scraper. It is 137.78mm long, 85.06mm wide, 30.76mm wide …

Late Neolithic probable polished stone axe (incomplete): Slightly tapering segment of a carefully polished ‘bar’ of reddish brown granular stone (probably quartzite) with an oval cross section (maximum 49mm x 31mm). Both ends have transverse breaks but at the slightly narrower end there is a trace of polished surface which suggests a rounded end (probable butt). While the other end may have had a cutting edge, it would seem unsuitable as a working tool since the relatively coarse grain would give a brittleness (a probable line of weakness can be seen at the middle edge of the seg…

Knapped blade of Mesolithic date, with secondary working along the blade edge. There is a notch towards the distal end which was probably caused by modern plough damage as the break is not worn. The ventral surface has some ripples radiating from the proximal end. The flint has a orange-brown patina due to the levels of iron in the soil where is was discovered. The blade is 80mm in length, although the proximal end has a worn transverse break thus the blade would have been longer in antiquity. At the widest point, the blade is 30mm, and is 10mm thick.

They can be dated to the time between 500,000 and 200,000 BP. It is 100.3mm long, 72.5mm wide, 37.1mm thick and weighs 258.10g. The flint is mid brown with lighter brown patches. There is beige- white patination to one side. A cobble flint with some flake removals was also found at this location and is possibly the early stages of production of a hand axe. However it is too undiagnostic to date accurately.

Probably an incomplete blade of Mesolithic or early Neolithic date, knapped from light grey flint. The surviving section of the blade is the snapped proximal end. A curved proximal end is common on blades struck from prepared blade cores, with a punctiform butt; a small amount of the striking platform that remains on the removal. The roughly parallel scars on the dorsal surface also suggests that these are broken blades. The incomplete blade is 16.2mm long, 15.26mm across at the widest point, has a maximum thickness of 2.68mm and weighs 0.57 grams

Uncertain lithic implement, probably of Mesolithic or Neolithic date. The artefact has been knapped from dark grey flint with white specks. The flint has snapped, removing the distal end. It is possibly a fragment of a blade, however there are no dorsal blade scars, thus it is unlikely to have been removed from a prepared blade core. The form of the implement resembles a scraper, however the size of the artefact makes this unlikely. The fragment is 17.31mm long, 12.91mm across at the widest point, has a maximum thickness of 3.08mm and weighs 0.91 grams.
